Earthrise – Wikipedia

Die Aufregung über das schöne Foto vom Erdaufgang hinter dem Mond kann ich nur teilweise nachvollziehen. Als Babyboomer habe ich so etwas schon vor mehr als 50 Jahren gesehen. #Apollo8

Beyond Earth: Faith has always gone to space. Artemis II shows how much it has changed. - Sight Magazine Earlier missions included public references to religion, but astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft struck a broader, more global tone.

Eine weitere tolle Aktion:

#JimLovell war u.a. damals Astronaut beim Flug von #Apollo8 - Die Mission, die den Mond umrundete: Wie jetzt #Artemis2 #ArtemisII ...

... er verstarb letztes Jahr - Hat aber eine Audio-Nachricht für die Astronauten hinterlassen:

Stunning images coming in from #ArtemisII crew on Orion spacecraft "Integrity" 🚀

My #Scrabblegram #poem from two years ago celebrated #Earthrise, the iconic 1968 #Apollo8 photo of Earth rising over the Moon 🌍🌑

It works equally well with today's #NASA photo of #Earthset

La Nasa publie la photo d'un coucher de Terre prise par les astronautes d'Artemis II L'image évoque immédiatement la photo légendaire d'Apollo 8, prise le 24 décembre 1968 par l'Américain Bill Anders lors du premier survol de la Lune par des humains, avec ses compatriotes Frank Borman et Jim Lovell.

NASA publie la photo d’un coucher de Terre pris par les astronautes d’Artemis II, 57 ans après Apollo 8; vue lunaire, hommage à Lever de Terre et à l’héritage des explorations humaines. #Apollo8!!

My mind goes all the way back to 1968 & the Apollo8 moon mission.
Our "small and blue and beautiful" home, as Archibald MacLeish described it.
I was a child then. Am older now, much older.
Am I wrong to feel renewed hope? Hope not.

Artemis 2 Astronauts Plan to Capture Earthrise and Earthset During Moon Flyby The Artemis 2 crew, consisting of NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will attempt to recreate the iconic 'Earthrise' photograph taken by Apollo 8 in 1968. Their flyby of the moon's far side on April 6, 2026, will provide a rare opportunity to capture both Earthrise and Earthset moments. Unlike Apollo 8, which orbited the moon ten times at a relatively low altitude, Artemis 2 will perform a single lunar loop at an altitude ranging between 4,000 and 6,000 miles, offering a dramatically different perspective. While Apollo 8’s Earthrise was an unexpected moment captured with a Hasselblad camera, Artemis 2's digital Nikon D5 cameras will allow for planned, high-quality imaging. Lighting conditions will differ as well, with the far side only partially illuminated, creating unique shadows that highlight lunar surface details. Despite these differences, NASA hopes the images can evoke a similar sense of global unity and environmental awareness, reflecting current global tensions and environmental challenges. This mission highlights the ongoing human fascination with our planet as seen from space and continues the legacy of using space imagery to inspire reflection and connection.

Apollo 8 Earthrise photo with part of backside of the Moon, logically

Well... #Apollo8 crew saw the backside of the Moon live as first humans - they even took the iconic photo #Earthrise inclunding a part of the #backside of the #Moon - logically.

I assume that #Trump in his uneducated silliness is origin of this stupid claim, #Artemis2 crew would be first humans

In mehreren Nachrichten kam ja die irre #trumpeke #Falschmeldung an #Müll, dass mit dem Flug der #Artemis2 das erste Mal Menschen live die #Mondrueckseite betrachten würden.

Denn:
Sogar das ikonische #Apollo8 Foto #Earthrise zeigt ein Stück Mondrückseite - logischerweise!

Wie cool ist das denn? Vor seinem Tod im Sommer 2025 hat der 97-jährige Jim Lovell noch einen Gruß für #Artemis2 aufgenommen. Er gehörte zu den ersten Menschen, die zu Weihnachten 1968 mit #Apollo8 am Mond waren.

Mit Lovells Stimme wurde gerade die Orion-Crew geweckt.

In Erinnerung an #Apollo8, die zu Weihnachten am Mond war, wurde Victor nach einer Botschaft gefragt, da #Artemis2 zu Ostern (fast) am Mond ist. Die Orion war da rund 290.000 Kilometer von der Erde entfernt.

Und damit: Frohe Ostern! #HappyEaster

#Apollo6 (AS-502) launched on April 4, 1968 and suffered the loss of 2 engines in its second stage and failure to restart the J-2 engine when in orbit.

Also 10G pogo and a lot of parts fall over the vehicle.

Eight months later, the next Saturn V flight was crewed for #Apollo8.

NASA is going to pull an Apollo 8 on us, aren’t they? I was enthused about the Artemis 2 lunar flyby mission. I was. My interest is cooling fast, though, and I fear the worst for NASA’s weekend. I was turned off by this article about Victor Glov…

That’s the only home we’ve got, takes me back to #Apollo8 and poster on my wall as an adolescent. Thank you #Artemis

Seeing Earth from space is just…wow. 🤩 #ArtemisII is all about the science, and that’s huge—but I can’t stop thinking about a modern “Earthrise,” that iconic view of our world from 1968’s #Apollo8.

If you’re going to go down a rabbit hole, a lunar cartographic/lunar nomenclature rabbit hole is among the best kind!

Letzte Nacht hatten wir einfach unseren #Apollo8 -Moment ...

Irgendwie ist es schon schade, dass niemand von der damaligen Crew den #Artemis2 -Start miterlebt hat. Im August 2025 ist zuletzt Jim Lovell im Alter von 97 Jahren gestorben.

Shoutout to the people who made it possible to fly around the moon 58 years ago with Apollo 8 !!!
In light of current technological capabilities, that is an unparalleled achievement.

The Artemis II's #Artemis2's Launch & Lunar Flyby Mission To The #Moon 🌑 isn't at all finished!

In fact, it's only just begun.

So, I'll definitely be watching more of the #Orion capsule for its #Lunar orbit as similar to the #Apollo8 to #Earthrise event.

Well done to the Artemis II's #Artemis2's Launch & Lunar Flyby Mission To The #Moon!

A great event for #NASA's #SLS (Space Launch System) #rocket & #Orion team.

Hopefully it'll be a new & advanced #Apollo8 #Earthrise revisited!

Trying Art-not to miss, Artemis II's #Artemis2's Flyby Mission To The #Moon

After four RS‑25 engines, sensors, connections & diagnostics checked, #NASA's #SLS (Space Launch System) #rocket & #Orion are ready to go now but 1 final thought & question,

Will it be another #Apollo8 #Earthrise event?

Let's hope we get another #Earthrise photo & vid from Artemis II's #Artemis2's flyby mission to the #Moon.

The #Apollo8 mission captured it beautifully in #spaceexploration history.

I wrote about its orbital mechanics that Artemis will also use for the Lunar flyby today

Wishing all the astronauts for #artemis2 good luck. This mission should be used for achieving the progression of mankind, through peace and true collaboration of nations, as it was for the #apollo8 mission, not submission or intimidation.
