I'm having a bit of a problem with the #ArtemisII mission patch.

There's a shadow on the earth? If the moon is casting a shadow on the earth, that would be an eclipse, and the moon shadow wouldn't be that big.

Also the sunlight is coming from the left, so there wouldn't be a shadow over that way at all.

@ottaross That's no shadow, that's the US President's ego getting in the way.

@tsturm lol – the size certainly checks out.

@ottaross I think the light from the sun is hitting the Earth and Moon in the same way. The opaquely dark, unlit side of the earth certainly looks like a cast shadow, though.

@helianthropy could be the intention. I guess it's hard to do a soft day/night terminator on the small earth graphic.

@ottaross No English version in the Wikipedia, so here's the Spanish one:

Or a machine translation: https://es-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Herc%C3%B3lubus?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=es&_x_tr_pto=wapp

In short: it's the end-of-the-world planet! (LOL)

@ottaross I read they observed an eclipse during their first orbit
