#3: First Image of the Moon
The moon has always fascinated humans. The invention of photography allowed us to satisfy our natural curiosity about Earth’s natural satellite. Curious photographers naturally tried to capture images of the moon from the very beginning of this new technology. The official “first” photo of the moon can be attributed to several people.

Inventor Nicéphore Niépce is credited with taking the first-ever photograph in 1826 or 1827. About ten years later, the daguerreotype was invented. Inventor Louis Daguerre captured a rudimentary image of the crescent moon. However, chemist John William Draper is credited with taking the very first photo of the full moon in 1840.
