NASA has released new images from the Artemis II Moon fly-by. Astronauts captured a rare “Earthset” view, showing Earth rising beyond the Moon’s surface. Another image showed a solar eclipse as the Moon blocked the Sun. The photos were taken during a six-hour fly-by. Astronauts experienced a short period of radio silence behind the Moon. One astronaut described the view as unreal and like science fiction. The images remind people of the famous Earthrise photo from 1968. They show Earth’s beauty and the vast darkness of space around it. (PC: NASA)
