[Gemini IV] SPACE SUNRISE ABOVE THE PACIFIC OCEAN
Ed White or James McDivitt, 3-7 June 1965
Printed 1965.
Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper [NASA image S-65-34737].
With "A Kodak Paper" watermark on the reverse, numbered "NASA S-65-34737" in red in the top margin (issued by NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre, Houston, Texas).
20.3 x 25.4 cm. (8 x 10 in.)
Historical context
This Gemini 4 photograph captures a dazzling space sunrise above the Pacific Ocean, west of the Galapagos Islands, during the 21st orbit. The spacecraft's nose anchors the viewer to the technological marvel of human space exploration, while Earth's delicate curvature fades into the horizon. The unintentional glare adds an ethereal quality, highlighting the planet's fragility against the vast darkness of space. This image showcases astronauts' growing ability to explore and artistically document the interplay between humanity, technology, and the natural world.
