Author	Topic: Anders' Earthrise crater (Apollo 8 50th) coin
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42981 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 01-04-2019 04:27 PM Bill and Valerie Anders commissioned this challenge coin, which attendees received at the Anders' Apollo 8 50th anniversary gala at the San Diego Air and Space Museum on Dec. 20, 2018. The challenge coin highlights the International Astronomical Union's recent naming of a crater as "Anders' Earthrise." (A matching patch with the coin's reverse design was also produced.)

This was a gift on behalf of the Anders to their event's attendees. (The challenge coin and patch accompanied a thank you card from Bill and Valerie Anders.)
