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.
