ALT Image showing two views of Earth. The left is a full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule, in pale blue, swirling with white clouds. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula\u2019s twinkling lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 and 7 o\u2019clock spots, are the thin green glow of auroras, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. White haze at the lower right is zodiacal light, the bright spot is Venus. The second is a full-view, brightly lit photograph of Earth as seen from the Apollo 17 spacecraft, displaying the African continent, the South Polar ice cap, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Malagasy Republic (Madagascar) against the blackness of space.

ALT Un ocaso de la Tierra captado a trav\u00E9s de la ventana de la nave Orion a las 6:41 p.m. EDT del 6 de abril de 2026, durante el sobrevuelo lunar de la tripulaci\u00F3n de Artemis II. La Tierra, en tonos azules suaves con nubes blancas brillantes, parece ocultarse detr\u00E1s de la superficie lunar cubierta de cr\u00E1teres. La parte oscura del planeta est\u00E1 en la noche. En el lado iluminado, se distinguen nubes en espiral sobre la regi\u00F3n de Australia y Ocean\u00EDa. En primer plano, el cr\u00E1ter Ohm muestra bordes en terrazas y un fondo relativamente plano interrumpido por picos centrales. Estos picos se forman en cr\u00E1teres complejos cuando la superficie lunar, licuada por el impacto, rebota hacia arriba durante su formaci\u00F3n.

ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space.
