On December 24, 1968, the Apollo 8 mission transmitted to Earth the iconic "Earthrise" photo, in which our planet appears to rise like the Sun above the Moon's surface.

Now, Artemis astronauts have also captured the famous view of Earth from behind the Moon, which was first shared by the White House.
