"The Artemis II mission, which is currently underway and scheduled to last a total of 10 days, has also released some remarkable images of our home planet."
"A striking image of the Earth 'setting' behind the cratered Moon takes a truly unique view of our planet and prompts us to consider our perspective."
"It's reminiscent of one of the most iconic photographs of all time, known as 'Earthrise,' which was snapped by astronaut William Anders during the 1968 Apollo 8 mission."
"Artemis II is scheduled to return to Earth on the evening of April 10, when the crew will splash down into the Pacific Ocean off the California coast."
