Earthrise. The view of the rising Earth as photographed by the Apollo 8 astronauts on December 24 1968 as they came from behind the Moon after the fourth nearside orbit. Nasa/William AndersA new Earthset image has been captured by the crew of Artemis II, 58 years since the iconic Earthrise photograph taken by the crew of Apollo 8. Over these past six decades, the climate has changed dramatically.

“Oh my God, look at that picture over there! There’s the Earth comin’ up. Wow, is that pretty.” That was Nasa astronaut Bill Anders’ reaction to seeing the Earth appearing to rise above the lunar horizon as their Apollo 8 spacecraft came around the Moon on Christmas Eve 1968.

Theirs were the first human eyes to see our planet at such a distance and from another celestial body. As fellow astronaut Jim Lovell said a few hours later: “The Earth from here is a grand oasis in the big vastness of space.”

‘Earthset’ is the new photo from the far side of the Moon, captured on April 6 2026 by the crew of Artemis 2 as Earth dips behind the lunar horizon.

Agi: Nasa, ecco la foto del 'tramonto lunare' scattata dall'Artemis

AGI - A più di 57 anni dalla prima immagine di un'alba terrestre scattata da un astronauta dell'Apollo 8, la Nasa ha pubblicato una nuova immagine, presa a bordo dell'Artemis II. Questa volta si tratta di un tramonto terrestre dietro la Luna.
La leggendaria foto dell'Apollo 8 fu scattata il 24 dicembre 1968 dall'americano Bill Anders durante il primo sorvolo umano della Luna, insieme a Frank Borman e Jim Lovell.

NASA, here’s the photo of the “lunar sunset” taken by Artemis.

AGI - More than 57 years since the first image of a terrestrial sunrise taken by an Apollo 8 astronaut, NASA has published a new image, taken aboard Artemis II. This time it is a terrestrial sunset behind the Moon.

Marcel #Gotlib a créé ces pages à la suite de la mission #apollo8, mais ce récapitulatif décalé pourrait tout aussi bien s'appliquer à #Artemis…
