Astronauts on the Artemis 2 mission have, for the first time, released stunning images of the “sunrise of Earth” from behind the Moon.
In these images, which truly “take your breath away,” our blue planet slowly and majestically rises from the Moon’s horizon.
In these images, Earth appears in a crescent shape, like the night of a new moon, where the Moon appears as a thin, bright arc on the dark Earth’s horizon.
Until now, we had seen the sunrise of the Moon and the Sun, but the sunrise of Earth from the Moon is an unparalleled and historic experience, which many have called the “new Earth sunrise.”
These breathtaking images showcase the beauty and fragility of our planet from a distance of 38,000 kilometers.
