Definition
A groundbreaking photograph captured by the Artemis II mission crew—NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, alongside CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen—depicting Earth setting over the Moon's horizon during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026.
The term referring to the iconic 'Earthset' image from Artemis II, evoking Apollo 8's Earthrise but flipped: our planet dipping behind the lunar limb from the far side of the Moon, now a viral symbol of human space exploration.
