NASA on Tuesday released a historic image of Earth dipping below the lunar horizon, more than 57 years after an iconic "Earthrise" image was captured by an Apollo 8 astronaut.
NASA has released the first of 10,000 photos from the Artemis II moon flyby, led by Earthset, a new version of 1968's Earthrise.
Plans are in place for the crew of Artemis 2 to try to replicate one of the most famous images ever taken from space — Apollo 8's shot of Earth rising over the moon's horizon.

Earthset and eclipse, oh my! NASA releases magnificent images from Artemis mission’s moon flyby
Artemis 2's high-resolution views of Earth, the moon and a solar eclipse rekindle the spirit of round-the-moon missions from decades ago.
The global climate has changed drastically over the course of the 58 years that separate these two ‘Earthrise’ photographs.
"The planet's soft blue hue and scattered white cloud systems stand out against the blackness of space, while the lower portion fades into night," NASA wrote. "Taken with a 400 mm lens, the image, Earthrise, reveals a striking alignment of Earth and Moon, with the Moon in the top foreground and the Earth below."
After traveling a record distance from Earth, the Artemis II crew saw incredible things. “This continues to be unreal,” pilot Victor Glover said.
Residents are suing Will County saying they couldn’t cross-examine Earthrise Energy on a 6,100 acre solar farm near Manhattan.
