拍品專文

From the mission transcript minutes after the iconic photograph was taken:

005:21:27 Cernan: Okay. And I suppose we’re seeing as 100 percent full Earth as we’ll ever see; certainly as I’ve ever seen. It appears to be - it may be a little bit - a little bit of a terminator
way out to the - well, to the east - out beyond Australia and beyond India. But beyond that it’s about 99 percent pure.
005:22:59 Cernan: Bob, it’s these kind of views - these kind of views that stick with you forever.
005:23:07 Overmyer (Mission Control): Roger, Gene.

“That lonesome, marbled bit of blue with ancient seas and continental rafts is our planet, our home as men travel the solar system. The challenge for all of us is to guard and protect that home, together, as people of Earth.”
Harrison Schmitt (NASA SP-350, p. 266)
