"EverydayClimateChange is a collection of photographers from 6 continents who share photographs made on 7 continents to present visual evidence that climate change doesn't just happen "over there" but that climate change is also happening "right here".  Photographers come from the north, the south; the east and the west; and are as diverse as the cultures in which we were all raised.  We document not only the effects of climate change but also potential solutions to mitigate the effects of global warming on our world."

This historical day America celebrated, and it is so memorable that students of the future got one of the most ubiquitous posters ever put up on a dorm room wall. It is safe to say that the image is ingrained in pop culture, it's long remained a mystery. It is a mystery: from who starred in the world's famous public display of affection, to when the photo was taken.

Conflicting stories are published in books, affirmed by facial recognition experts and sworn by dozens, year after year. The photo is captured by photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt a...
