Creator
This file is in the public domain in the United States because it was solely created by NASA.
Note: the technology of the time is inherently shown in the photo, since both the foreground and distant Earth could not be in sharp focus using cameras available in 1965. (It's a feature, not a bug.) (โ€” ๐ฌ๐๐’๐๐ฌ โ€” - talk) 03:23, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
