According to scitechdaily.com, “When Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders snapped the iconic Earthrise image, it captured the imagination of the people on Earth and helped to inspire the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970.” For Anders, the most important thing we should discover is the earth.
One of the posters they have released shows the earth in different phases. (Yes, just like the moon). Thus, if someone was to look at the earth from the moon, they would see different phases too. But unlike the moon where we just see one phase from the earth, the earth spins around its axis.
