A comparison of Earthrise, taken in 1968 from Apollo 8, and a similar shot from the Artemis II mission yesterday (April 6, 2026).

In the foreground is the illuminated surface of the Moon, pitted and rocky and darker than any visible Sunward part of Earth.

An LEGO kit of the Milky Way galaxy. A streaming setup is visible in the background.
The text "lorem ipsum" on a beige background. Each letter is colored a different color from the Progress Pride flag.
View of a streamer (me) and a game. The streamer is wearing kaleidoscope glasses, which makes it hard for him to see gameplay. Gameplay shown is POV of a truck simulator game inside the cabin; the truck is tipping 25-35 degrees to the left on a highway on-ramp while going 41 km/h.
