In Pictures: The Best Shots From Artemis Mission to the Dark Side of the Moon
The astronauts captured dozens of images showing lunar terrain, a total solar eclipse and life aboard Orion during humanity’s first crewed trip around the Moon in decades.
- Commander Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen released images documenting their Artemis II mission, including never-before-seen views of the Moon, a total solar eclipse, and Earth.
- During their lunar flyby on April 6, the astronauts observed a total solar eclipse using special glasses, with NASA noting the event was "creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth."
- Inside the Orion spacecraft, dubbed Integrity, the crew documented daily life, including Hansen shaving and the group taking selfies during their lunar observation period.
- With the lunar mission complete, the crew has begun their return trip, preparing to hit the atmosphere traveling at Mach 32 before their scheduled splashdown in the Pacific.
- Alongside the lunar photos, the crew shared a spectacular photo of the Milky Way galaxy taken on April 7, plus Earth views channeling the historic Apollo 8 "Earthrise" shot from 1968.
