Wikipedia links to a nice visualization on youtube of the moments when the photo was taken, synced with the recording of the actual conversation of the Astronauts as recorded by the Apollo 8 equipment: ▶ this video
I once saw a video (reenactment but original voices maybe?) of how one of these images was taken. How the earth appeared over the horizon and they scrambled to find a camera or so. Anyone knows which video I'm talking about and could help me find it? Edit: finding out the picture in question had a name, Earthrise, made it easier to find. Here's the video ▶ this video
Video of the Earthrise he's talking about in the article - ▶ this video I just finished Andrew's A Man on the Moon book a couple of weeks ago and I throughly enjoyed it.
