Italy's ArgoMoon cubesat, launched with #Artemis1, just returned a bonus portrait of Earth.
It's striking how much it looks like Apollo 17's "Blue Marble" shot from 1972 (right). Our planet's weather patterns persist across the years. https://www.argotecgroup.com/artemis-1-argomoon-captured-photos-of-the-earth-and-moon/ #NASA #ArgoMoon

The far side of the #Moon, imaged today by the #Orion spacecraft (left) and two days ago by Italy's #ArgoMoon, one of the ten CubeSats launched together with her on November 16th: https://esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/11/Artemis_I_Moon and https://asi.it/2022/11/nuovo-scatto-lunare-per-argomoon/, respectively. Both views are dominated by the Mare Orientale which sits right at/behind the lunar limb as seen from Earth.

Another #Moon image courtesy of the #Artemis I mission ... but not from the Orion but the Italian CubeSat #ArgoMoon launched with it! See https://www.asi.it/2022/11/artemis-1-argomoon-ecco-le-prime-immagini-mozzafiato-della-terra-e-della-luna/ for more and also an Earth image.

So the #MadeInItaly #cubesat #ArgoMoon has sent some of its first images. It is flying in support of the #Artemis1 mission, tasked with documenting the #Orion spacecraft.
