US astronaut William Anders has died aged 90. He is the man who photographed Earthrise - which become one of the most iconic images of the 20th century, and one of the most memorable photographs of space. The image was shot on Christmas Eve 1968 from Apollo 8 – the first NASA mission to orbit the Moon.
We’d come 240,000 miles to see the moon and it was the Earth that was really worth looking at
