NASA released a new photograph of Earth taken during the Artemis II mission, showing Earth as it dips below the lunar horizon. This image mirrors the famous Earthrise photo captured by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders in 1968. The Artemis II crew, consisting of US astronauts Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, is on a mission to loop around the moon, contributing to future lunar exploration plans, including a moon landing in 2028. The crew has also observed a solar eclipse during their journey.
