>NASA has released the first set of photos taken by the Artemis II moon mission. The first image, titled 'Earthset', was taken from the far side of the moon and shows the Earth dipping beyond the lunar horizon. This is a nod to Earthrise – the famous photo captured by NASA's Apollo 8 mission more than 50 years ago. '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,' NASA explained on X.
