Earthrise: Historian Uncovers The True Origins Of The “Image Of The Century”

The recent death of Frank Borman‚ commander of Nasa’s Apollo 8 mission in 1968‚ has focused attention on that incredible first voyage to the Moon.It took place eight months before Apollo 11‚ where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the lunar surface for the first time. However‚ the impact of Apollo 8’s “Earthrise” picture – the sight of the Earth from the Moon – now seems even greater than that of the first landing.For many years‚ the story behind the famous Earthrise photo‚ was that the crew were caught off-guard by the blue orb rising from behind the Moon. But even if they were preoccupied‚ the astronauts knew it was coming.Another unforgettable event during the mission was a reading by the crew from the Book of Genesis‚ broadcast to the world at Christmas. Detailed research I’ve conducted in Nasa’s archives has revealed more clearly how much planning lay behind these dramatic moments. The famous Earthrise picture‚ a wonky snap taken in a hurry‚ was improvised‚ but it had been anticipated.Earthrise restoredAfter entering lunar orbit‚ they nearly missed seeing the Earth. Only on the fourth orbit‚ when the capsule flipped round 180 degrees to point forwards‚ did they notice it. Borman confirmed to me that at that moment they were “taken by surprise – too busy with lunar observation on the first three orbits”.But the Apollo programme’s director of photography‚ Dick Underwood‚ was anxious to set the wider record straight. He explained: “Hours were spent with the lunar crews‚ including the Apollo 8 crew‚ in briefing on exactly how to set up the camera‚ which film to use … these briefings were most comprehensive.”The Apollo 8 crew presenting the Earthrise picture to the governor of Texas‚ John Connally‚ in 1969. Image credit: NasaThere were‚ however‚ battles within Nasa about what images the astronauts should focus on‚ with the management insisting on shots of lunar geology and potential landing sites. Dick Underwood explained: “I argued hard for a shot of Earthrise‚ and we had impressed upon the astronauts that we definitely wanted it.”Borman was joined on the mission by two other astronauts: Jim Lovell‚ who was the command module pilot‚ and Bill Anders‚ who had the title of lunar module pilot. Nasa had intended for Apollo 8 to test the lunar module‚ but it was behind schedule so the mission didn’t take one.At the pre-launch press conference‚ Borman had looked forward to getting “good views of the Earth from the Moon” and Lovell to seeing “the Earth set and the Earth rise”.The official mission plan directed the astronauts to take photos of Earth‚ but only as the lowest priority. When the key moment came‚ the astronauts were indeed taken by surprise‚ but not for long.Anders was at a side window taking photos of craters using a camera with black and white film when he saw the Earth rise from behind the Moon. “Look at that picture over there! Here’s the Earth coming up‚” Anders exclaimed.Bill Anders’ first picture of Earthrise. Image credit: NASAAnders quickly took a sharp shot of the Earth emerging above the lunar horizon. Then he and Lovell argued briefly over who should have the colour film camera‚ while Borman tried to calm them down.It was Anders who took the blurry‚ hastily framed‚ overexposed colour shot of Earthrise‚ later dubbed the image of the century. But in the other camera was a much better shot‚ long ignored because it was in black and white.That first mono image was spot-on. A restored “Earthrise” photo‚ recently coloured by experts using the later shots as a reference‚ conveys the stunning sight beheld by the astronauts.This shot‚ revealing the Earth as a majestic but fragile oasis. As Lovell mused: “The loneliness out here is awe-inspiring … it makes us realise what you have back on Earth.” For Borman too it was “intensely emotional … We said nothing to each other‚ but maybe we shared another thought I had: ‘This must be what God sees.’”The Genesis readingIn 1968‚ as now‚ space travel was viewed as a scientific and technological domain. But the mission was also sent by one of the world’s most strongly Christianised countries‚ and the crew was not about to leave its cultural background behind.It was a point of pride at Nasa that‚ whereas Soviet cosmonauts were tightly monitored and controlled‚ their own astronauts were free to speak their minds. Extraordinary as it now seems‚ they were left to decide for themselves what to say in their historic live broadcast from lunar orbit.Borman knew that he had to come up with something special for the Christmas broadcast. A few weeks beforehand‚ he was told by a press officer: “We figure more people will be listening to your voice (during the broadcast) than that of any man in history. So we want you to say something appropriate.”While Neil Armstrong’s “one small step” message was carefully considered inside Nasa‚ no one in the agency knew in advance what Borman would say.The original Earthrise photo. Image credit: NasaWith only two minutes left before radio contact was lost as the spacecraft passed behind the Moon‚ Anders said: “The crew of Apollo 8 have a message that we would like to send to you.”He then read from the Book of Genesis: “In the beginning‚ God created the heaven and the Earth; and the Earth was without form and void.” He continued: “God said‚ ‘Let there be light‚’ and there was light.”Lovell and Borman took over to read the next verses‚ and Borman signed off: “Merry Christmas‚ and God bless all of you – all of you on the good Earth.”As Apollo 8 dipped out of radio contact‚ the world was left to absorb the impact. “For those moments I felt the presence of creation and the creator‚” Nasa’s chief flight director Gene Kranz later recalled. “Tears were on my cheeks.”Somehow Borman and his colleagues found the perfect words to convey their experience. But Borman had thought about the assignment carefully‚ asking a publicist friend to help out with the text.This was Simon Bourgin‚ science policy officer at the US Information Agency. Bourgin in turn asked a journalist‚ Joe Laitin‚ who mentioned the task to his wife‚ Christine.She looked in the Old Testament and suggested: “Why don’t you begin at the beginning?” She recognised the primeval power of the creation story in the first book of Genesis‚ with its evocative description of the Earth.Borman immediately recognised that this was just right‚ and had it typed up. He had superbly vindicated Nasa’s trust in him.While inspiration and a degree of freedom were involved in the Earthrise photo and Genesis reading‚ behind their execution lay careful planning and professionalism.Robert Poole‚ Professor of History‚ University of Central LancashireThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

The Mystery Of Moose With “Devil's Antlers”: What Does Science Say?

The Mystery Of Moose With “Devil's Antlers”: What Does Science Say?

Have you ever heard of a moose with so-called "Devil's Antlers"? Although it may conjure images of some monstrous misshapen animal lurking in the wilderness‚ the term actually appears to refer to a real phenomenon that further demonstrates how cool antlers are.How to make antlersIf you look for this term online‚ you will find only a few references to it and annoyingly few verifiable images. However‚ the moose with Devil’s Antlers does appear to be real. It seems it is a colloquial term that refers to bulls that have grown abnormal and typically ugly antlers‚ which do not shed.  Unlike cattle‚ sheep‚ and goats that keep their horns‚ moose – the largest member of the deer family (Cervidae) – shed their antlers every year. This is because antlers are not fused to the animals' skulls in the same way that horns (made of bone and keratin) are. Instead‚ bull moose grow their antlers during the spring months and use them to fight and attract females (typical male stuff) in autumn. After this‚ the bulls shed their antlers which relieves them of up to 27.2 kilograms (60 pounds) of weight‚ and helps conserve energy through the cold winters. Antlers grow ridiculously fast. In fact‚ they are among the fastest growing tissues in the animal world. For instance‚ white-tailed deer antlers can grow around a quarter of an inch a day‚ whereas elk can grow theirs at around an inch a day. When a male moose reaches around a year of age‚ it will start growing its first antlers‚ which become more impressive and elaborate in appearance with each subsequent shed-and-grow cycle. When they start to appear‚ new antlers grow in a velvety skin that helps to nourish them. This process is triggered by increasing daylight which leads the animal to produce more testosterone. Then‚ around September‚ the bull experiences a further surge in this hormone‚ which leads to the moose shedding the velvet to reveal its spectacular bony headwear. However‚ in rare situations‚ this process goes wrong‚ and the animal grows weird‚ disfigured antlers that neither suit their purpose nor shed at the end of the mating season.                  What the devil is it all about?The effect is caused by a lack of testosterone in the animal‚ caused by castration or some hormonal dysfunction. When it occurs‚ the moose will shed its existing antlers and then grow new and deformed ones that will not shed‚ as testosterone is needed to start this process. This phenomenon has several names depending on where you are. Within some circles in North America and Canada‚ it is referred to as Devil’s Antlers‚ but in some cases‚ especially when concerning deer‚ the antlers form tumor-like masses called “perruque head”. This latter name is derived from the fact that the failed antler looks like an old fashioned perruque wig. They are sometimes referred to as an “antleroma”‚ which combines the English word “antler” with the Greek “oma” for “tumor-like”. There are also what’s referred to as “cactus antlers” and velericorn antlers. Unfortunately‚ images of these antlers are rare to find and those that do exist are usually exhibited by animals that have just been shot‚ so we will spare readers the experience of seeing that. But a quick internet search will give you an idea. Interestingly‚ this bizarre phenomenon is not a new discovery. Aristotle even described it in his History of Animals‚ which was written in the fourth century BCE. So it seems the mystery of the Devil’s Antlers is not all that unusual after all‚ even if photographs of this bizarre form of growth are frustratingly difficult to come by.

AGAIN! Nets Hide the (D) on NYC Mayor’s Sex Assault Charges

When is a Democratic politician not a “Democrat”? All too often‚ as NewsBusters has carefully documented‚ the liberal networks fail to mention the party identification of an official enmeshed in embarrassment or wrongdoing — if they’re a Democrat‚ that is. It happened just last month‚ when New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez was indicted for corruptly acting as a foreign agent for the government of Egypt. Last year‚ MSNBC’s Morning Joe would only refer to a Nevada Democrat who murdered an investigative reporter as a “politician” (how helpfully vague). And now that the Democratic Mayor of New York City has been hit with a $5 million sexual assault suit‚ ABC and CBS hid Eric Adams’ party identification in their Thursday evening and Friday morning coverage. For its part‚ NBC just skipped the story entirely on Nightly News and Today‚ which is perhaps an even better way to insulate the Democratic Party from the bad news. On the Thanksgiving edition of World News Tonight‚ ABC fill-in anchor Linsey Davis told viewers that “New York City Mayor Eric Adams is accused of sexually assaulting a woman 30 years ago‚” without saying he was a Democrat. Correspondent Aaron Katersky was equally delicate‚ announcing that “tonight‚ the Mayor of New York is accused of sexually assaulting a woman 30 years ago....” On the CBS Evening News (pre-empted in much of the country by football)‚ fill-in anchor Nancy Cordes read a short (30-second) item that merely relayed how “New York City Mayor Eric Adams is fighting off an accusation of sexual assault going back 30 years....” On Friday’s Good Morning America‚ co-host Juju Chang referred to Adams only as “the latest high-profile man being sued under a New York law about to expire....” On CBS Mornings‚ co-host Dana Jacobson similarly omitted Adams’s party ID: “Here in New York‚ we are seeing a series of sexual abuse complaints filed just before a landmark state law ran out. One of the targets is New York City Mayor Eric Adams....” It wasn’t a complete shutout‚ though. Eagle-eyed viewers of ABC’s World News Tonight and Good Morning America‚ however‚ would have spotted a microscopic (D) in a very brief‚ on-screen tag shown when the network shows ran a clip of Adams denying the charges. “I don’t even recall ever meeting the person who made the‚ this allegation‚” Adams was shown saying. If you blinked‚ however‚ you might have missed the whole thing. And that was it. It’s hard to imagine the Republican Party being so well-insulated if similar allegations were leveled against one of its highest-profile office-holders. Here’s a little more of how ABC and CBS covered the Adams story last night and this morning. (Click expand to read the transcripts.) # ABC’s World News Tonight November 23‚ 2023 LINSEY DAVIS: Next tonight‚ New York City Mayor Eric Adams is accused of sexually assaulting a woman 30 years ago. The woman is making the accusation in a court filing under a New York state law which gave victims of sexual violence a one-year window to sue over attacks that took place decades ago. Adams is vigorously denying the accusation. Here’s ABC’s senior investigative reporter Aaron Katersky. AARON KATERSKY: Tonight‚ the Mayor of New York is accused of sexually assaulting a woman 30 years ago. In a new court filing‚ the woman alleges she “was sexually assaulted by defendant Eric Adams in 1993 while they both worked for the city of New York.” Today‚ Adams said he doesn’t know the woman‚ calling the allegation “absolutely not true.” ERIC ADAMS: Something absolutely that has never happened. And I don’t even recall ever meeting the person who made the‚ this allegation.... # ABC’s Good Morning America November 24‚ 2023 JUJU CHANG:  Now to New York Mayor Eric Adams facing a lawsuit by a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her in 1993. It’s the latest high-profile man being sued under a New York law about to expire.... #  CBS Evening News November 23‚ 2023 NANCY CORDES: Tonight‚ New York City Mayor Eric Adams is fighting off an accusation of sexual assault going back 30 years. An unidentified woman filed the $5 million lawsuit on Wednesday under the Adult Survivors Act. That New York law is set to expire today. Adams was a New York City police officer at the time of the alleged incident. Today‚ he denied assaulting anyone. Adams is also facing an FBI investigation into his campaign’s fund raising. #  CBS Mornings November 24‚ 2023 DANA JACOBSON: Here in New York‚ we are seeing a series of sexual abuse complaints filed just before a landmark state law ran out. One of the targets is New York City Mayor Eric Adams‚ who denies a reported assault from 30 years ago. As Elaine Quijano reports‚ Adams is not the only big name facing a lawsuit.... As noted earlier‚ NBC didn’t mentioned the allegations on Nightly News or Today. But Friday’s Today did have time for Dolly Parton’s halftime show‚ a Manhattan pop-up bar with a Christmas theme‚ as well as multiple stories on Black Friday shopping. They have their priorities‚ of course.

'There will be no backing down': UFC star Conor McGregor vows to change Ireland after stabbings by Algerian migrant suspect

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor spoke out and called for change and greater safety in Ireland after a stabbing attack outside a school in Dublin‚ Ireland.Three children and two adults were stabbed by an Algerian immigrant‚ with a 5-year-old girl and 30-year-old female in critical condition‚ according to the Counter Signal.Police said the suspect was also injured and is a 50-year-old man who was labeled a "person of interest." The motive was not known.The Irish took to the streets in protest‚ burning buses and cars. Protesters clashed with riot police‚ the Guardian reported‚ as demonstrators set off flares and fireworks. The police response peaked at 400 officers with no serious injuries reported among the responding forces. A total of 34 people were arrested as a result‚ Reuters noted.Fighter McGregor was quick to jump into the conversation about the incident‚ responding to a post on X from his coach John Kavanagh."So what should happen with this demented scumbag who attacked women and kids today?" the coach wrote. "Few years in jail at our expense to get out and repeat?? Needs to be deported immediately and never allowed back or just hang him‚ there's no 'fixing' him.""Torture and death‚" McGregor simply replied. Torture and death. — (@) The entrepreneur and brewer elaborated on his views in response to a video of an alleged journalist being questioned by a man on the street. The videographer appeared to accuse the would-be journalist of calling citizens far-right for objecting to mass immigration."Isn’t that something. The absolute picture of weak and feeble. The most divisive of all is the weak man‚" McGregor said of the man in the video. "One of the most horrific crimes this nation ever seen has occurred‚ we do not care anymore what you sad cases have got to say."McGregor then promised change in the name of safety."In a war you are nothing. We are not backing down‚ we are only warming up. There will be no backing down until real change is implemented for the safety of our nation. We are not losing any more of our woman and children to sick and twisted people who should not even be in Ireland in the first place. Call it what you want. We do not care. May God help us all. Ireland for victory." Isn\u2019t that something. The absolute picture of weak and feeble. The most divisive of all is the weak man. One of the most horrific crimes this nation ever seen has occurred‚ we do not care anymore what you sad cases have got to say. In a war you are nothing. We are not backing\u2026 — (@) Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar criticized the rioters in the aftermath‚ saying that citizens were most afraid of them."Ask everyone you know what they fear most on our streets. They're afraid of you‚ afraid of your violence and your hate and how you blame others for your problems‚" the leader said.The prime minister also vowed to modernize laws against "hatred in general.""We will pass new laws in the coming weeks to enable the Gardai [police] to make better use of the CCTV evidence they collected yesterday‚ and also we will modernize our laws against incitement to hatred and hatred in general‚" he claimed. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says to the far-right protesters who rioted in Dublin last night 'ask everyone you know what they fear most on our streets. They're afraid of you. Afraid of your violence and your hate and how you blame others for your problems'.\n\nhttps://t.co/jSqOhnwgMh — (@) Like Blaze News?

Congress is right to take auto subsidy-grubbers to task

Congress is right to take auto subsidy-grubbers to task

It has been over a decade since the federal government bailed out the auto industry at a cost to taxpayers of more than $10 billion‚ but the transfer of tax dollars to this powerful sector of our economy has not even come close to ending. Over the past several years‚ untold billions of federal‚ state‚ and local tax dollars have been spent in the form of tax credits‚ subsidies‚ and other investments to prop up the auto industry’s expansion into electric vehicles. And just two months ago‚ the Biden administration offered another $12 billion to automakers‚ ensuring the spigot remains wide open.Of course‚ the auto industry says the taxpayer funding that pads its bottom line serves the greater good‚ intimating that the money for electric vehicle tax credits and charging stations is necessary for protecting the environment and America’s energy future. Maybe American taxpayers eventually will get something meaningful for these outlays; maybe they won’t. But automakers have a responsibility to put public safety above corporate profits‚ especially when those profits are inextricably linked to the generosity of the average Jane and Joe.Unfortunately‚ however‚ a handful of automakers don’t seem to have gotten that memo. They recently sent alarm bells ringing throughout the public safety community by removing AM radios from their new-model vehicles. Yes‚ AM radio is a source of entertainment for tens of millions of people each week‚ but far more importantly‚ it serves as the backbone of America’s National Public Warning System and Emergency Alert System. Because we often lose power‚ and cell networks become overloaded during emergencies‚ AM radio is frequently the last line of defense in ensuring communication with the public. This was the case during the recent Maui wildfires‚ where power was out and virtually all the island’s cell towers went down. Radio was the only way to provide the public with lifesaving information.Earlier this year‚ every former head of FEMA over the previous four administrations wrote to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and to Congress‚ noting that removing AM radios from cars would present a real threat to public safety. Current FEMA leadership has warned that if the trend by some automakers continues‚ “millions of Americans” could lose access to “lifesaving” information during emergencies. State and local officials‚ including first responders on the ground‚ have repeatedly warned that the auto industry is putting the public in jeopardy by removing AM radio from vehicles. As Sheriff Shaun Golden‚ the public safety official who spearheaded the emergency response to Hurricane Sandy‚ put it‚ “This issue isn’t about a select few automakers taking away a source of entertainment from car buyers. It’s about how‚ if left unchecked‚ the removal of AM radio will undermine the nation’s public warning system and emergency alert system that public safety officials at every level of government depend on to do their jobs.” These public safety concerns have united Congress to act to ensure that the automakers put public safety above corporate profits.A bipartisan coalition led by Senators Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has coalesced behind legislation that would require the auto industry to reverse course and keep AM radio‚ ensuring the integrity of our public safety infrastructure remains intact. Their bill‚ the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act‚ is moving quickly through the House and Senate.While the bill is endorsed widely throughout the public safety community‚ the Alliance for Automotive Innovation‚ the powerful lobbying arm of the auto industry‚ disagrees with America’s public safety experts. In a recent snarky blog post‚ the Alliance begged Congress to reject this bill with “my dog ate my homework”-level reasoning.First‚ the Alliance argued that the legislation is unnecessary for protecting public safety even though FEMA and almost every state emergency management official under the sun has said otherwise. The federal government has spent decades building out the National Public Warning System‚ and the experts clearly believe that without AM‚ the system will no longer work as designed.Then‚ the Alliance claimed that maintaining AM radios would cost too much even though the auto industry has enjoyed tens of billions in taxpayer subsidies. The reality is that the Congressional Budget Office has found there is minimal cost associated with keeping AM radios in cars. In fact‚ most of the Alliance’s automaker members are already opting to keep AM radios in their models‚ which suggests that the cost associated with doing so is in fact minimal. It is amusing how the Alliance can make the case that EV charging stations (which it wants D.C. to pay for) are important for America’s safety and future‚ yet it just as easily dismisses the need to protect something like our public warning infrastructure for the same reasons. Talk about inconsistency. But that is D.C. lobbying for you.Here’s hoping that Congress says enough is enough and prevents corporate boardroom profits from supplanting public safety. Because if there’s one thing money can’t buy‚ it’s that.

Jordan Peterson's latest speech is what we all need to hear: 'I don't know that there was a dry eye in the entire venue'

Listen to Jordan Peterson speak‚ or even watch him in a casual interview‚ and it becomes immediately clear the man is an incredible orator. He’s given a number of powerful speeches over the years‚ but his most recent speech‚ which he delivered at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference — where invitees from over 70 countries‚ including dignitaries‚ politicians‚ and media people — aimed to solve current global issues‚ is perhaps his most stunning speech to date. “I think it was the single best speech I have ever heard Jordan give in my life‚” says Dave Rubin‚ who “toured with Jordan for a year and a half” and helped put on “about 120 shows.” “The speech was just absolutely inspiring; I don't know that there was a dry eye in the entire venue‚” he raves before playing the unedited footage of Peterson’s presentation. The speech covers a range of topics‚ including how identity is the intersection of faith and responsibility‚ what it means for humans to genuinely flourish at the psychological level‚ and the importance of sacrifice and getting outside ourselves in order to serve a higher purpose. Peterson uses beautifully simple analogies to help make sense of the great complexities of the cosmic order and‚ ultimately‚ to help us remember who we are. It’s a tear-jerking‚ inspiring‚ and encouraging message all would benefit from hearing. Check it out below.

5 men arrested after allegedly responding to fake ad for 'sexual services from minors' posted by police

Five men were arrested for allegedly trying to obtain sexual services from a minor after they reportedly responded to a fake ad police had posted online.The Durham Regional Police Service in Ontario‚ Canada‚ revealed that it posted the fake advertisement that offered sexual services from minors as part of a sting operation which resulted in a series of arrests and many charges.Undercover police posted the ad‚ according to Durham Radio News‚ which authorities said was visited more than 6‚600 times in a span of just four days. Police also said they received messages from more than 600 different phone numbers."An ad was published to create the illusion that individuals can purchase sexual services from minors‚" police said‚ according to Global News. Police also posed as minors online as part of the operation as well.Investigators subsequently arrested five men between the ages of 28 and 48 years old‚ laying 15 charges in total.Krish Subiah‚ 37‚ Rajwant Singh‚ 30‚ Mahbubar Rahman‚ 48‚ Sarangan Kirupamoorthy‚ 28‚ and Rajasekaran Natarajan‚ 38‚ were all arrested.All five men were charged with luring a child for the purpose of obtaining sexual services (under 18 years)‚ obtaining sexual services (under 18 years)‚ and invitation to sexual touching (under 16 years).The ad was part of an ongoing initiative called Project Firebird aimed at going after individuals who are looking to obtain sexual services from children‚ CP24 reported. The project also involves supporting victims and potential victims."This project would not be possible without the support of the Ontario government funding to our Children at Risk of Exploitation (CARE) unit‚" police said‚ per Insauga. "Our CARE unit has specialized teams that pair police officers with child protection workers to proactively identify‚ investigate‚ locate‚ and engage children and youth who are at high risk of child sex trafficking."The arrests came a week after a 21-year-old man‚ also in the Toronto‚ Canada‚ area‚ was charged for allegedly sex trafficking a teenage girl.The Toronto Star reported that the teen was forced into the sex trade "while the male exercised control over numerous aspects of her life‚ while profiting from it."A man named Elijah Grey was arrested and charged with human trafficking under 18 years old‚ receiving material benefit under 18 years old‚ advertising sexual services‚ and making child pornography.Like Blaze News?
