This is the first photograph ever taken from space
The grainy black and white photo above was the very first photo from space. It was taken from an altitude of 65 miles by a 35 mm camera aboard a V-2 rocket on October 24, 1946. The US military launched dozens of these V-2 rockets, captured from the Germans at the end of World War II, from the White Sands Missile Range. They wanted to learn about how to build their own rockets, but invited scientists to hitch along instruments to study the Earth’s upper atmosphere while they’re launching them anyway.
