Technology
NASA's Artemis II crew just caught a stunning Earthset moment, where earth slips out of view behind the moon.
Snapped by the Orion spacecraft on April 6, this shot gives off major Apollo 8 Earthrise vibes from way back in 1968.

The photo shows earth's shadowy side with bright clouds over Australia and Oceania, plus a close-up of the moon's rugged Ohm crater.
Artemis II is making history as part of NASA's push to send people back to the moon after more than 50 years.
The crew also saw an Earthrise, caught a solar eclipse from space, and set a new record for how far astronauts have traveled from home.
