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.
Now that humans are trying to go back to the moon, I want to share some of my favourite pictures from the last time we were there, Apollo 17.

STUNNING🚨: Artemis II crew captured a stunning image of Earth this morning from 41,000 miles away.
The first time since 1972 that humans have seen a crescent Earth in full.
