This stunning picture of Earthrise over the surface of the moon came from Apollo 14's landing site at Fra Mauro in February 1971.
One story I don't think I'd ever heard -- the Command Module pilot Stuart Roosa carried a canister of tree seeds on the journey. After his return, they were germinated, and the saplings -- Moon Trees -- were planted around the world.
