Original Note:
This Tweet suggests this footage was taken from the surface of the moon. This is not the case. The film was taken by Apollo 8 while ORBITING the moon. Apollo 8 did not land on the moon. As the Apollo 8 spacecraft orbited the moon the crew filmed it and was named Earth Rise. https://skyimagelab.com/products/apollo-8-earthrise-1 https://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_8/
