The beautiful Ranger-class starship, recently remastered in #StarTrekOnline. Thanks to @thomasthecat.bsky.social and @ramonmatas.bsky.social Absolutely stunning and I suspect Matt Jefferies would be proud @mikeokuda.bsky.social @ricksternbach.bsky.social

Apollo 8 made Lunar orbital insertion on 24 December 1968. On the 4th orbit of the moon Anders took the iconic 'Earthrise' image.
"Oh my God! Look at that picture over there! There's the Earth coming up. Wow, that's pretty... You got a color film, Jim? Hand me that roll of color quick, would you."

![Taken by Apollo 8 crewmember Bill Anders on December 24, 1968, at mission time 075:49:07 [8] (16:40 UTC), while in orbit around the Moon, showing the Earth rising for the third time above the lunar horizon. The lunar horizon is approximately 780 kilometers from the spacecraft. Width of the photographed area at the lunar horizon is about 175 kilometers. [9] The land mass visible just above the terminator line is west Africa. Note that this phenomenon is only visible to an observer in motion relative to the lunar surface. Because of the Moon's synchronous rotation relative to the Earth (i.e., the same side of the Moon is always facing Earth), the Earth appears to be stationary (measured in anything less than a geological timescale) in the lunar "sky". In order to observe the effect of Earth rising or setting over the Moon's horizon, an observer must travel towards or away from the point on the lunar surface where the Earth is most directly overhead (centred in the sky). Otherwise, the Earth's apparent motion/visible change will be limited to: 1. Growing larger/smaller as the orbital distance between the two bodies changes. 2. Slight apparent movement of the Earth due to the eccenticity of the Moon's orbit, the effect being called libration. 3. Rotation of the Earth (the Moon's rotation is synchronous relative to the Earth, the Earth's rotation is not synchronous relative to the Moon). 4. Atmospheric & surface changes on Earth (i.e.: weather patterns, changing seasons, etc.). Two craters, visible on the image were named 8 Homeward and Anders' Earthrise in honor of Apollo 8 by IAU in 2018. (Press release). The NASA image number is AS08-14-2383.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nkggeiosv7cqakn7avyzj2z3/bafkreibkkpvu53vkvu3lzthifinpdwhozxj2xvh4vh6v7hio7trq34h574@jpeg)

Happy birthday to Star Trek Picard production designer Dave Blass! He's also a design consultant to the Roddenberry Archive. And he works on such shows as Justified, The Boys, and Longmire.
(That's us on the set of Star Trek: Picard, just outside the Enterprise bridge.)
