An extraordinarily rare photograph taken during the first moments of Apollo 11 as the crew was orbiting Earth before firing the Saturn V third stage for translunar injection. The spacecraft was passing over Earth’s nightside, and Collins was eager to shoot a photo of Earth at sunrise, but had a hard time finding the Hasselblad camera floating in the cabin’s zero g. He eventually captured this “fantastic” view (see mission transcript) looking east towards Earth terminator, showing reflections of the morning sun over the cloud-speckled Earth above the Pacific Ocean. From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken: 001:18:04 Collins: Stand by for sunrise. [...] 001:19:57 Collins: Jesus Christ, look at that horizon! 001:19:59 Armstrong: Isn’t that something? 001:20:00 Collins: God damn, that’s pretty! This is unreal. I’d forgotten. 001:20:08 Armstrong: Get a picture of that. 001:20:10 Collins: Ooh, sure, I will. I’ve lost a Hasselblad. Has anybody seen a Hasselblad floating by? It couldn’t have gone very far, big son of a gun like that. [...] 001:22:13 Collins: I looked... I’ve looked everywhere over here for that Hasselblad, and I just don’t see it. 001:22:24 Armstrong: It’s too late for sunrise, anyway. [...] 001:22:28 Aldrin: But you want to get it before TLI. [Translunar Injection.] 001:22:30 Collins: ...I know it. That’s what I’m worried about. [...] 001:23:24 Collins: Ah! Here it is (the Hasselblad). [...] 001:24:17 Collins: I got a little horizon. Man, look at that! [...] 001:24:51 Collins: Fantastic. I have no conception of where we’re pointed or which way we are or a crapping thing, but it’s a beautiful low pressure cell out here. 001:25:10 Aldrin: Yes, go ahead and take a picture.
