Earlier this evening, I ran across an article in the Huffington Post about the death of Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders. The year was 1968 for Apollo 8. Ander is the man who took the iconic photo called Earthrise. I tried to find a royalty free photo of it, but no luck. This is earth from space, but isn’t the photo that Anders took.
Anders, 90, was flying his plane and it went down in the San Juan Islands, where Megan is now working, so I sent her the link. It turned out to be a synchronicity. She and another naturalist, were hiking today in Bellingham, about an hour’s drive from Anacortes, and here is her repsonse:
Holy shit Hannah and I were just watching that video!
It happened this morning and one of the naturalists sent a video of it.
Here’s that video.
The national news is so focused on trump, trump, trump that I didn’t hear a word about this on TV.
