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

Our Artemis II crew will be going around the Moon... but they’ll always find their way back home 🌎 During this complex and far-reaching journey, the four crew members will travel ~685,000 miles looping around the Moon and back to Earth in a span of about 10-days. The mission follows a free-return trajectory that uses the gravity of the Earth and Moon to naturally guide the crew home. During the mission, the astronauts are going to get a unique perspective of the Moon while testing Orion’s systems and performing science operations. Visual description: This artist’s concept depicts the trajectory for NASA’s Artemis II test flight, an approximately 10-day mission that will send four astronauts around the Moon and back. The agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Orion will fly an orbit around Earth and then venture around the Moon before returning to Earth. Credit: @NASAGoddard

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.

Approaching the near side of the Moon. The Artemis II astronauts have surpassed the record for the distance from Earth at 1:56 p.m. EDT (1756 UTC). This record was previously set during the Apollo 13 mission when the astronauts traveled 248,655 miles from Earth. The Moon continues to grow larger and larger in the windows of the Orion spacecraft as the Artemis II mission gears up to observe the far side. The astronauts are predicted to make their closest approach of the Moon around 7:02 p.m. EDT (2302 UTC). Image description: In this view of the Moon, the near side (the hemisphere we see from Earth), is visible at the top half of the Moon disk. It is identifiable by the dark splotches. These are ancient lava flows from a time early in the Moon’s history when it was volcanically active. The large crater that appears below the lava flows, dark in the center, is Orientale basin, a nearly 600-mile-wide crater that straddles the Moon’s near and far sides as is partly visible from Earth on the edge of the Moon. In this image, we have a full view of the crater. Everything below the crater is the far side, the hemisphere we don’t get to see from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits round us. Credit: NASA

We didn’t walk on the Moon until we got back to Earth. To understand how to optimize lunar surface spacewalks on future Artemis missions, we do simulated runs as soon as we are back. Spoiler alert: It felt great.

The most ominous thing I’ve ever loved.   It wasn’t just an eclipse with the Sun hidden behind the Moon...we could also see earthshine, the Sun’s light reflecting off Earth, wrapping the Moon in a soft, borrowed glow.

Guess I’ll be waiting a minute to surf again. When people live in microgravity, the systems in our body that have evolved to tell our brains how we’re moving, the vestibular organs, don’t work correctly. Our brains learn to ignore those signals and so when we first get back to gravity, we are heavily reliant on our eyes to orient ourselves visually. A tandem walk with eyes closed can be quite the challenge! Learning about this can help inform how we treat vertigo, concussions and other neuro-vestibular conditions on Earth. Luckily we’re already adapting back to gravity at 7 days post-splashdown!

Earth.   The bright side hung in the blackness like a teardrop. Blazing blue, both poles impossibly lit, cradling the light around the shadow. A turned up smile.   The dark side was alive. Auroras dancing green over the poles like headphones, thunderstorms playing the drums in lines across continents. A perfect bow of light, everyone’s sunset.
