Earthset Over The Moon

A welcome perspective

Art description: 2-panel comic with an artist drawing of an "Earthset" over the Moon, based on a NASA photo taken by the crew of Artemis II on April 6, 2026 during their lunar flyby mission. The second panel contains a simple line drawing of a girl with a bun showing the photo on her phone to an elephant. Titled "Earthset over the Moon," 2026, by Connie Sun.

I drew this because I’m feeling awe-inspired by the photos captured yesterday by the crew of the Artemis II. The image of the Earthset is especially breathtaking and some welcome perspective of the planet in the first half of 2026.
