So the Apollo "earthrise" photos are just "earth"?

  No; they weren't taken from the moon; they were taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft, which was orbiting, so the Earth did in fact 'rise'.

  Yes, Earth does not move significantly on the moon sky, if i remember right. It does rotate though. Edit: Archgoon is right, the photos were taken from the orbiting module, so a rise happened.
