Obviously Apollo 8 had a sixth sense.

U.S. postage stamp (Scott #1371)

AS08-14-2383 (21713574299), from which Earthrise was cropped. The photo is displayed here in its original orientation as seen by the crew of Apollo 8. Lunar north is up.[12]

***

Anders took the first color shot, then Lovell who notes the setting (1/250th of a second at f/11), followed by Anders with another very similar shot (AS08-14-2384).

I have stamp #1, and the accompanying 1st Day of Issue envelope. The stamp’s glue dried up and the stamp fell off. Now I just keep the stamp in the envelope.
