@tymwol Not sure if they used the newest cameras in 1966 either...

@TheDJ Many thanks, I wasn't aware of those. A much fairer comparison indeed.

The difference that 60 years makes.

The first image is the world's first view of Earth taken by a #spacecraft from the vicinity of the #Moon.

The photo was transmitted to #Earth by the United States Lunar Orbiter I and received at the #NASA tracking station at Robledo De Chavela near Madrid, Spain.

This crescent of the Earth was photographed August 23, 1966 at 16:35 GMT when the spacecraft was on its 16th orbit and just about to pass behind the Moon.

The second image is the earthset captured by the #Artemis II mission in 2026.
