The famous photograph is of the earth rising with the lunar surface in the foreground. The barren grey nature of the moon compares strikingly with the beautiful colors of our home planet. This was the first time humans had seen what their planet looks like from a distance. The image can be seen at the Related Link below.

Who orbited the moon during the first Apolllo flight?

All three Apollo astronauts were aboard for several orbits, but Michael Collins remained aboard the command module when the Lunar Module descended to the Moon. Technically Apollo 2 was the first flight of the Apollo Missions, however i was only a test flight with no humans and never left Earths orbit. Apollo 7 was the first manned Apollo mission but they never left Earths orbit either. The first Apollo mission to actually orbit the moon was the crew of Apollo 8 (Lovell, Anders and Borman). If you mean by first Apollo flight that landed on the moon then Apollo 11 is the mission with Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins. Hard to believe I only have 6 trust points!!!
