AS08-14-2384 (Dec. 1968)--- The rising Earth is about five degrees above the lunar horizon in this photograph--one of a pair taken within a short time of each other --from the Apollo 8 spacecraft . The horizon, about 570 kilometers (350 statute miles) from the spacecraft, is near the eastern limb of the Moon as viewed from Earth. Width of the view at the horizon is about 150 kilometers (95 statute miles). On the Earth 240,000 statute miles away, the sunset terminator crosses Africa. The South Pole is in the white area near the left end of the terminator. North and South America are almost totally under clouds. However, part of North America is visible at the top (western) part of the planet.
