2022 November 23 - Earthset from Orion

In today's image, we see Earth setting behind the lunar limb as imaged recently by the Orion craft. This has recently made a close approach to the lunar surface - within 100 miles. It will be going into an orbit around our Moon as the craft is tested for the potential of returning humans to the Moon for the first time in 50 years.
