#Earth sets on April 6, 2026, over the #Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the #Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon.
#Orientale basin is perched on the edge of the visible lunar surface. #Hertzsprung Basin appears as two subtle concentric rings, which are interrupted by #Vavilov, a younger #crater superimposed over the older structure.
The lines of indentations are secondary crater chains formed by ejecta from the massive impact that created Orientale.
The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime.
On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.

A screenshot of the application the Artemis II crew sees on their PCDs that guides them in the execution of the lunar science observation plan
30 targets are designated. You can see targets 11, 12, 13: Glushko crater, Orientale and Hertzsprung basins.
