William Alison Anders også kaldet Bill Anders (født 17. oktober 1933, død 7. juni 2024[1]) var en amerikansk astronaut. Han var besætningsmedlem på Apollo 8-missionen. Med Apollo 8 fløj han som en af de første rundt om Månen. Han er særlig kendt for at have taget det første farvefotografi "Earthrise" (en) af Jorden fra Månen.[2]
William Anders var med i det fælles USA/USSR udvekslingsprogram for kernekraft.

NASA Earthrise AS08-14-2383 Apollo 8 1968-12-24.jpg
Taken by Apollo 8 crewmember Bill Anders on the morning of December 24, 1968, at mission time 075:49:07 [4] (16:40 UTC), while in orbit around the Moon, showing the Earth rising for the third time above the lunar horizon. The lunar horizon is approximately 570 kilometers (350 statute miles) from the spacecraft. Width of the photographed area at the lunar horizon is about 150 kilometers (95 statute miles). [5] The land mass visible just above the sunset terminator line is west Africa. Note that this phenomenon is only visible to an observer in motion relative to the lunar surface. Because of the Moon's synchronous rotation relative to the Earth (i.e., the same side of the Moon is always facing Earth), the Earth appears to be stationary (measured in anything less than a geological timescale) in the lunar "sky". In order to observe the effect of Earth rising or setting over the Moon's horizon, an observer must travel towards or away from the point on the lunar surface where the Earth is most directly overhead (centered in the sky). Otherwise, the Earth's apparent motion/visible change will be limited to: 1. Growing larger/smaller as the orbital distance between the two bodies changes. 2. Slight apparent movement of the Earth due to the eccenticity of the Moon's orbit, the effect being called libration. 3. Rotation of the Earth (the Moon's rotation is synchronous relative to the Earth, the Earth's rotation is not synchronous relative to the Moon). 4. Atmospheric & surface changes on Earth (i.e.: weather patterns, changing seasons, etc.). Two craters, visible on the image were named 8 Homeward and Anders' Earthrise in honor of Apollo 8 by IAU in 2018.[6]

This is the official NASA portrait of astronaut William Anders. Anders was commissioned in the air Force after graduation from the Naval Academy and served as a fighter pilot in all-weather interception squadrons of the Air Defense Command. Later he was responsible for technical management of nuclear power reactor shielding and radiation effects programs while at the Air Force Weapons Laboratory in New Mexico. In 1964, Anders was selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as an astronaut with responsibilities for dosimetry, radiation effects and environmental controls. He was backup pilot for the Gemini XI, Apollo 11 flights, and served as lunar module (LM) pilot for Apollo 8, the first lunar orbit mission in December 1968. He has logged more than 6,000 hours flying time.
