Apollo 17, the final mission of NASA's Apollo program, provided one of the most iconic images in space exploration history: the Crescent Earthrise. Launched on December 7, 1972, Apollo 17 carried astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, and Ronald Evans to the Moon. During their journey, as the spacecraft orbited the Moon, the crew captured a stunning photograph of the Earth rising above the lunar horizon. This image, often referred to as the Crescent Earthrise, showcased the Earth as a delicate crescent against the vast darkness of space, highlighting its fragility and beauty. The photograph not only emphasized the uniqueness of our planet but also underscored the accomplishments of the Apollo program and the profound perspective gained from human space exploration. The Crescent Earthrise remains a powerful symbol of our planet's place in the universe and the enduring legacy of Apollo 17.

The original Type I photograph has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for authenticity purposes.
