I read all the comments in the times post and no one mentions that this is due to the motion of the Artemis II. On the moon there is no "earthrise" or "earthset", only a yearly wobble. On the earth the moon rises and sets because of the earth's rotation. I guess the editors of the NYT knew this so that they put the "earthset" in quotes.
