Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
The Artemis 2 lunar flyby is tomorrow! The crew will get within 4,066 miles of the moon, which will give them a unique view of entire moon disk, including both north & south poles. They will observe & take pictures which will be vital info for scientists & later missions
