the first photograph of the earth from the moon, 1966
update: as mr. smarty pants coffey pointed out, this is the first image from moon orbit, not actually from the moon itself----whatever

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570

There's a big difference between "from the moon" and "while orbiting the moon." I'm sorry, tommitron, but you are an accomplice to a LIE!! The true "first photo FROM the moon" was taken in 1969. That would be Apollo 11.
