Today marks the 57th anniversary of the Apollo 8 mission, the first manned spaceflight to escape earth’s gravity and orbit the moon, and the mission that was called “the greatest voyage since Christopher Columbus”.

Launching on December 21, 1968 and splashing down on the 27th, the Apollo 8 team was comprised of three astronauts: Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders.

These men were the first to ever see and photograph the far side of the moon and an Earthrise, showing the Earth rising over the horizon like the Sun does.

APOLLO 8 IN PHOTOGRAPHS provides the full story of the mission, from the preparations to launch, the view from the moon, and what this mission’s success meant to the Space Race.

Now available at your favorite bookstore and our website (link in bio for more information).

For National Space Week, we’re giving you a sneak peek of our new book series that covers all of the Apollo space missions.

Photo historian JL Pickering and journalist John Bisney have combined efforts to author a book for each manned Apollo mission in
our upcoming APOLLO PHOTO ARCHIVES series.

Pickering has assembled what is likely the world’s largest private collection of space photography and Bisney is a retired news correspondent,
who reported on the US space program for internationally broadcast networks such as CNN and the Discovery Science Channel for more than 30 years.

Each book in this series will include hundreds of images of the mission, many of which are rare or previously unpublished, and show
much more than just the astronauts and the spaceflight.

The first two books in the series will cover Apollo missions 1 and 7. Pictured here in order are these images:

Gemini 4 reflected in Ed White’s gold-plated visor in this photo by McDivitt, using a Hasselblad 70 mm camera. (Apollo 1)

Donn F. Eisele looks over a NASA Spacecraft Operations Checkout Procedure manual. (Apollo 7)

Apollo 7 approaches the S-IVB during the second orbit. The rendezvous is intended in part to simulate rescuing a stranded LM in lunar
orbit.

Ralph Morse, a Life Magazine photographer, shares a Polaroid test photo with Ed White. (Apollo 1)

Two xenon spotlights provided illumination of the Apollo 7 mission launch count down at 5:00 a.m. EDT on October 11, 1968.

APOLLO 1 IN PHOTOGRAPHS and APOLLO 7 IN PHOTOGRAPHS are now available for preorder from your favorite bookseller (link in bio for more information).
