Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.   On April 6, 2026, the Artemis II astronauts flew around the Moon, seeing parts of it that had never been viewed by human eyes. They captured what they saw in words and in photos—swipe through to see what they shared.   Image credit: NASA   #NASA #Artemis #Earthrise #Moon

Seeing home from space hits different⁣ ⁣ @astro_christina and @astro_reid take some time to look back at Earth from one of Orion's windows as the Artemis II astronauts continue their journey to the Moon. They're deep in space, on this mission for all of us back home.⁣ ⁣ Image description: Each image is inside a dimly lit Orion spacecraft, a window takes up most of the image with a brightly lit Earth, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman's faces both lit up while looking back at Earth. ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #NASA #Artemis #Space

New photos from space dropping NOW. Pause for a moment with the crew of @NASAArtemis II as they look back at our home planet, seen through the window of the Orion capsule. That’s us, together, looking back at the astronauts journeying to the Moon, for all of humanity. In the first image, Earth peeks through the capsule window, reminding us that a view like this relies on the ingenuity and hard work of countless people back home. In the second image, we see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere in the north. Image descriptions: 1: One-third of Earth peeking through the window of the Orion capsule. The planet is a dreamy pale blue, swirling with white clouds and reflected sunlight. Although Earth only fills a fraction of the image it is the brightest object in the image by far. The capsule window is surrounded by a thick frame held in place with bolts, reminiscent of a heavy duty airplane window. It is dark in the capsule, but the outlines of straps and various components of the capsule are visible. Brighter white components are visible in the upper right corner. Credit: NASA 2: A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o’clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o’clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet’s surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA

More new Earth images dropped! 🤩   In this new image from the Artemis II crew, we see the divide between night and day, known as the terminator, cutting across Earth. Whether awake or fast asleep, we’re all here on this planet together.    In the second image, also taken from the Orion capsule, we can see ourselves represented by the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.    The Artemis II crew’s schedule is designed around the requirements of the mission. While many in the U.S. were preparing for bed on April 2, the crew had just completed translunar injection, putting them officially on course for the Moon.    Credit: NASA Image descriptions: 1: Earth as seen from the Orion capsule. It is divided sharply in half, with a line running diagonally from the 11 o'clock to the 4 o'clock. The lower left half is a bright pale blue. Its surface is covered with swirly, puffy white clouds, with texture indicating different thicknesses. The upper right half is dark, with no illumination from the Sun. Earth is set against the black of space. 2: A full disk image of Earth at night, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a dark midnight blue. Swirling white clouds are visible against the darker surface. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large, very brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. Other tiny yellow dots of electric lights are sprinkled across the planet's surface. From the 3 to the 6 o'clock spot, a very thin crescent of blue light hugs the edge of the planet. Earth is set against the black of space.

Around the Moon and back. The Artemis II crew has splashed down off the coast of San Diego on Friday, April 10, at 8:07 p.m. EDT (0007 UTC April 11 UTC) after approximately 10 days in space. The crew includes NASA astronauts @Astro_Reid, @AstroVicGlover, and @Astro_Christina, and @CanadianSpaceAgency astronaut @AstroJeremy. A combined NASA and U.S. military recovery team will soon extract the astronauts from the Orion spacecraft and fly them to the USS Murtha. Once aboard, the astronauts will undergo post‑mission medical evaluations before returning to shore where awaiting aircraft will take them to @NASAJohnson in Houston. Teams will also retrieve the spacecraft and transport it to Naval Base San Diego, where it will be offloaded and prepared for a return to @NASAKennedy. Credit: NASA

I'll see you on the far side of the Moon Our Moon takes about four weeks to rotate on its axis: exactly as long as it takes to orbit once around Earth. This phenomenon, known as tidal locking, means that we only ever see one side of the Moon (the near side) in the sky. The other side of the Moon is often incorrectly called the "dark side"—it spends just as much time in the Sun, so calling it the far side is more accurate. Still, we had no idea what it looked like until spacecraft flew around the Moon in the 1950s and 1960s. With images like this high-res mosaic taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (between 2009 and 2011), we're getting a close-up look into the far side's mysteries. For example, the far side's surface has many more craters than the near side, with fewer lunar 'seas' of cooled lava. Soon, our @NASAArtemis II astronauts will blast off on their mission around the Moon, where they'll get a firsthand look at the far side. We'll be bringing you their journey live; keep an eye on nasa.gov/artemis for the latest updates! Image description: This two-image carousel shows off the Moon's far side, with one hemisphere in each image. Its gray surface is pockmarked with countless craters of various sizes.

Unbeatable aura 😎 Swipe right to meet our Artemis II astronauts! Up first is Reid Wiseman, the mission’s commander. As commander, he’s responsible for leading the crew aboard the flight. @astro_reid flew previously as a flight engineer aboard the International Space Station for Expedition 41. Next is Victor Glover, the Artemis II pilot. He’s in charge of executing all spacecraft maneuvers. @astrovicglover previously served as pilot on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission and flight engineer aboard the space station for Expedition 64. Third is Christina Koch, one of the two mission specialists. As mission specialist, she has trained for all roles to jump into action wherever needed. @astro_christina is a well-seasoned astronaut, having served as flight engineer for Expeditions 59, 60, and 61, and set the record for longest single spaceflight by a woman at 328 days. Last, but not least, is Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen. Like Koch, he is a mission specialist, meaning he has trained for all roles. Artemis II is his first spaceflight, and @astrojeremy is the first Canadian to fly to the Moon. Want to learn more about each member of the crew? Click the link in our bio!

NASA is increasing the cadence of future Artemis missions. The Artemis III mission, now in 2027, will be designed to test out systems and operational capabilities in low Earth orbit as preparation for an Artemis IV landing in 2028. This new mission will endeavor to include a rendezvous and docking with one or both commercial landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin. This change will accelerate the flight rate of the Artemis missions and enable a safer and more reliable launch cadence. There will be no changes to the Artemis II mission. In this video, we see a timelapse of the Artemis II rocket and spacecraft rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy atop of the crawler-transporter on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Teams will conduct work and repairs on the Artemis II vehicle before returning it to Launch Pad 39B to launch on its crewed mission around the Moon no earlier than April 2026.
