In honor of the late William Anders, here's a really great video on the "Earthrise" photo and how improbable it is that we have it at all

ELI5?
Basically they weren't originally planning on taking a photo of earth from the moon. The fact that they even had a camera was due to interest from a few astronauts in the earlier missions. The camera had its viewfinder stripped to save weight, so the astronauts couldnt see what they were filming. On that mission they were only planning to take photos of the moon's surface. And then they decided in the moment as the earthrise happened, that it needed to be photographed, and out of tons of shots they only got one clear image.
Maybe a little clickbaity but "It's highly imporbable that they got this shot" doesn't ring the same
Brilliant, thanks.
Doing God's work.
my dude it is a youtube video and I am not chatgpt
Why spend 15 minutes to get the answer when it can be explained in a few paragraphs?
Because the video is nice in and of itself. You do you though, no one's forcing you to do anything.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a short TL;DW summary. I’ve already seen the video a while ago, but I don’t remember all the exact details.
the answer to what?
Most people don't like a paragraph worth of information being stretched out into a 14 minute video. Luckily someone already provided the info in another comment.
No, but you’re sensitive af, just don’t respond next time.
tf u smoking? that dude responded to me
Tf you smoking, he wasn’t asking you directly. That’s not how these platforms work. Go outside you’ll feel better.
