Aretmis II astronauts have managed to recreate one of the most iconic space photos in history, as the crew aboard Orion beams back images from the historic lunar flyby. “Earthset” is a photograph taken out one of the Orion spacecraft windows that shows a “crescent” Earth setting over a darkened lunar surface.
The photograph, captured with a Nikon D5 DSLR and a 80-400mm lens, recreates one of the most iconic space images in history, mirroring the 1968 “Earthrise” photo taken by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders with a Hasselblad film camera and 250mm lens.
