Description
Artemis Era Earthrise captures a slender crescent Earth beyond the Moon during the Artemis II crew’s journey around the lunar far side. Photographed through Orion’s window at 7:22 p.m. ET on April 6, 2026, the image gives the Earthrise tradition a distinctly modern perspective.
Earth’s illuminated edge glows blue and white against deep space while its night side fades into darkness. Along the opposite edge, the Moon is barely visible except for rugged terrain silhouetted against the brighter planet, creating a quiet alignment of two worlds.
Produced from NASA’s official portrait-oriented 3,712 × 5,568 original, the paper and framed presentations preserve the native 2:3 composition. The 12 × 16-inch stretched canvas uses a restrained centered crop, and every option remains above Space Art Studio’s 300-PPI quality standard.
