THE MOON, EARTH - 6 April 2026– Earthrise (or Earthset) captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, the Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation - Photo: Geopix
