    Im sure there’s more photos but couldn’t they have released a photo showing some continents beside that one that shows reference?

  5. To be clear: the Apollo 17 picture is of the sunlit side of Earth. The Artemis II picture is a long exposure shot of the night side.

    That’s why they look so different.

    Dammit, Earth. Everytime we try and take a picture, you’re looking in a different direction.

  7. Can we infer the days of the year based on position? We know right one was like yesterday, but the assumption here is that spaceship is over the zenith of the sun?

    I really underestimate just how much water covers the surface of Earth.

    But, I guess that’s why they don’t call it the Blue Marble for nothing

  9. i hope one day we will have a picture of the earth that hasnt been modified and doesn’t look fake

    Man, I can’t wait to see what kind of ‘Earthrise’ equivalent we’ll get in the coming days. Even though the distance will be greater than Apollo 8, the technology now is just so much better.

  11. For the timescale of the universe, these two pictures are basically shot at the same instant

  12. Our beautiful mother ship. Let’s take good care of it. I don’t want to race through space on any other stone clumps and not know where the journey is going …

    Why is the new one so much darker? Did they ask an A24 filmmaker to take the shot?
