Forty years ago today, Apollo 11 astronaut Mike Collins made this iconic photo of the ascent stage of the LM Eagle returning from the lunar surface as the earth comes over the horizon. The window frame of CSM Columbia can be seen in the foreground.

Amen to that. Ed, your series of photos has helped make a special anniversary even more so. Thank you for all of your photos each week but especially for this.

Is that the earth rising in the center on the horizon? Just amazing...
