NASA releases Earthset photograph taken by Artemis II crew during lunar flyby
NASA released a photograph showing Earth setting below the lunar horizon, taken by the four-member Artemis II crew from their Orion capsule during their flyby of the moon. The image deliberately echoes the famous Earthrise photograph captured by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders in 1968. The crew includes US astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
