On October 11, 1968, Walter M. Schirra Jr., Donn F. Eisele, and R. Walter Cunningham successfully entered Earth’s orbit. It was a last-minute decision, according to NASA, to provide astronauts Walter Schirra Jr., Donn Eisele, and R. Walter Cunningham with the four-and-a-half-pound camera. For 10 days, 20 hours, nine minutes, and three seconds, the commander and pilots took photos of Earth from their Command Service Module. It was the first Apollo program to carry men into space and the first three-person American space crew.

These Photos Taken From Space Look Astonishingly Like Art Masterpieces
~~~

Since 1999, Japan’s ASTER (short for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) has been generating images of earth from NASA's Terra spacecraft. The results of this collaborative effort between Japan and the United States has now been made public, and anyone with an internet connection can look up sites like the Great Wall of China and rare views of the lava flows of Mt. Etna.

3 ~~~ Apollo 11 Astronauts Were Quarantining Long Before Any of Us for Fear of a 'Moon Plague' ~~~

NASA isolated the Apollo 11 astronauts for weeks — here's what we can learn from their time in quarantine.

When Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were picked up in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969 after returning from the moon, they were greeted like heroes. Then they were locked away for 21 days, even spending a few days in an iconic Airstream trailer.

Last summer was the 50th anniversary of NASA's groundbreaking Apollo 11 mission, which saw the first humans walk on the surface of the moon. However, the far lesser-known tale of why, where, and how the pioneering astronauts of Apollo 11 were kept in quarantine is a story for our times as we practice social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19.
