In one of the newest shots beamed back from Artemis II, the Earth and Moon appear to have swapped places as a “crescent” Earth rises over the lunar surface

As Orion slipped behind the moon, Earth began to sink. In one frame, it hangs as a thin crescent, clouds swirling over the Pacific, the rest of the planet swallowed by night. Minutes later, the crew lost contact with Earth entirely, cut off for about 50 minutes as the moon itself blocked radio signals.

The crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission have captured extraordinary views of the moon, including close-ups of the far side and a breathtaking solar eclipse

The crew of Artemis II just captured a series of dazzling images of the Earth and moon.

A dramatic new image released by NASA offers a rare and humbling perspective of Earth as seen from deep space.

The new Artemis II images — coupled with initial shots of the spacecraft hurtling through Earth's orbit, surrounded by glittering, galactic ice — have rendered much of the public awestruck, feeds flooding over with an overwhelming sense of emotion as the astronauts look back at our home.
