"Maj. William A. Anders, who flew on the first manned space mission to orbit the moon, the Apollo 8 “Genesis Flight” of Christmas Eve 1968, and took the color photograph “Earthrise” credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement, died on Friday when a small plane he was piloting alone dove into the water near Roche Harbor, Wa., northwest of Seattle. He was 90." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/07/science/william-a-anders-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.yE0.mvAo.Fl7elhZcAy_F&smid=url-shareRIP
