On at least one occasion, she took inspiration from astronaut Bill Anders’ “Earthrise” photo of 1968.

With the probable exception of glimpsing Earthrise out the window of Apollo 8, a total solar eclipse may be the best show in the universe accessible to human eyes.

When the spacecraft came out from behind the Moon for the fourth pass across its face, the crew witnessed an "Earthrise" for the first time in human history, Anders capturing the moment on film.

It was on the crew’s fourth orbit that Anders snapped the iconic “Earthrise” photo showing a blue and white Earth rising above the gray lunar landscape.

It was on this expedition that the iconic Earthrise photo, showing the Earth suspended above the Moon's lunar surface, was taken by Mr Borman's colleague William Anders.
