The photo is reminiscent of the iconic 1968 Earthrise image, captured by Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders during the first human journey around the Moon. As the astronauts flew over the Moon\u2019s far side, the crew photographed and described terrain features including impact craters, ancient lava flows, and surface cracks and ridges formed as the Moon slowly evolved over time. They also noted differences in color, brightness and texture, which provide clues that help scientists understand the composition and history of the lunar surface. The image has been slightly sharpened to fit the format of the poster. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/multimedia\/earth-day-2026-poster\/#h-poster\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-false\" aria-label=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload Earthrise Poster<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"10417\" height=\"7813\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/NASA - Earth Day Web Button.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"View of Earth rising above the gray, cratered lunar surface, with the planet\u2019s blue oceans and swirling white clouds illuminated against the blackness of space.

For more than 60 years, NASA has developed cutting edge sensors and techniques for understanding how our planet works \u2013 for the benefit of humanity and for insights we need to explore other moons and planets. NASA\u2019s Earth Science Division operates more than 20 satellites in orbit, sponsors hundreds of research projects and studies, and funds opportunities to put data to use for societal needs. We develop new ways to observe the oceans, ice, atmosphere, life, and land cover. NASA research on Earth\u2019s land surfaces have led to innovations in monitoring crops, forests, and water resources; in responding to hazards such as wildfires and landslides; and in observing how Earth\u2019s landscapes are changing.<\/p>\n<p>While engaging with industry leaders, international partners, academic institutions, and other users of our data, we drive innovations and deliver science to help inform decisions that benefit the nation and the world.<\/p>\n<p>Keep Exploring<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tDiscover More Earth Science<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 22, 2026 Earth Day 2026 On April 6, 2026, shortly before Earth slid behind the Moon from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":405391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[1744,80215,85,46,141,191707,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-405390","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-earth","9":"tag-earth-day","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-science","13":"tag-science-for-everyone","14":"tag-space"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=405390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/405390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/405391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=405390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=405390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=405390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
