Lot Essay

A fantastic photograph of one of the most amazing views witnessed from space by astronauts.

“This view of the limb (Earth’s outer edge of brightness) was taken as the spacecraft approached the daylight side of the Earth. This picture was taken with a modified 70mm
Hasselblad camera, using Eastman color, ASA 64 with a lens setting of 250th of a second at f/11” (NASA caption).
