I matched continents and stars to create an infographic with cities, constellations, continents etc.
Continents overlay and location calculations with my own software tool. Constellations matched with Stellarium. Then, lots of work in Affinity.

Well done. Can you tell me the process here? Did you have to find the perfect position until that picture matched?
Thanks for your work, I’ll share it.
Only thing that’s not labelled is the very bright crescent in the lower left part of earth. Since the spacecraft was looking away from the sun at a fully lit earthside, it can’t be light diffraction coming from behind. So what caused the atmosphere to be so very bright on the edge there and not on the other side, for example ?
Where’s the 10-days of video of earth, stars, the moon and the thousands of satellites
Awesome! Any chance you’ll do the eclipse photos with Saturn etc in the rear?
Really fantastic, thanks for sharing! When the picture came out, I did something on a significantly less impressive scale, I took Google Earth and rotated and zoomed in and out until it matched and took a screenshot so I could explain to my friends what the view was that we were looking at with all of the cities labeled on Google Earth.
People commonly seem to be missing that the Apollo photo was taken when in full daylight. Artemis 2 was the opposite. It was night on earth, that part I mean.
This is one of those posts that makes me yern for the internet that I once knew.
