... the sight moved the poet Archibald MacLeish to write on Christmas Day that momentous perspective-changing year:
“To see the Earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the Earth together...”

Time magazine closed out the year with the Earthrise photograph on its cover, with a one-word caption, “Dawn.”
