Behold: new and previously unseen imagery from our Artemis II mission! These images were captured on April 6, 2026, when the four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft conducted the lunar flyby portion of their ten-day journey.
This photo of the Moon was captured by the Artemis II crew aboard the Orion spacecraft a few hours before the lunar flyby on April 6, 2026. During the flyby, the crew captured critical science observations as they traveled around the far side of the Moon, traveling farther than any humans ever before. The Moon resembles a gray cratered orb in the distance, standing out against the blackness of space. Credit: NASA

The Moon appears half-illuminated in this photo captured by the Artemis II crew on April 6, 2026. The terminator — the difference between light and darkness — provides a stark contrast and even greater perspective of the Moon's rocky, uneven, and otherworldly surface features. The near side of the Moon, which is what we can see from Earth, appears in the dark gray regions at the top of this image. The Moon stands out against the blackness of space around it. Credit: NASA

The Artemis II crew was tasked with capturing many key features visible in this image of the Moon, captured on April 6, 2026. The terminator, or the difference in light and darkness, is visible on the top left. The large dark gray area toward center-left is Orientale Basin, while the characteristic dark patches of ancient lava flow we see on the near side are visible on the right half of this image.

This photo of a crescent Moon and crescent Earth was taken by an Artemis II astronaut during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026. This image captures one of the final moments before their loss of signal with Earth as the Orion spacecraft flew around the far side of the Moon, reemerging and regaining contact approximately 40 minutes later. Earth can be seen peeking behind the Moon in the distance. The illuminated regions of the Moon and Earth stand out against the blackness of space, while the rest are swallowed in shadow.

Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

.@NOAA experts say the record-breaking fourth global #CoralBleaching event likely ended in mid-2025 after heat stress impacted 84% of the world’s #CoralReef areas. Scientists are now studying reefs that showed signs of resilience despite the extreme heat exposure. Although this event appears to have subsided, global heat stress still persists as ocean temperatures remain unusually warm. NOAA is forecasting continued bleaching risks for this summer and fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Learn more: bit.ly/4x5yzZq #OceanMonth @NOAACoral @CoralReefWatch

UPDATE: @NASA can confirm a fireball over New England at 2:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, 2026. The meteor was about 5 feet (1.6 meters) in diameter with a mass of 5.6 metric tons and entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph. The meteor traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking up at an altitude of 31 miles and producing a meteorite fall into Cape Cod Bay. Based on the latest data, the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 230 tons of TNT, which accounts for the sonic boom. Have questions?

#MeteorSighting: Eyewitnesses in New England and @NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite reported a bright fireball on Saturday, May 30, at 2:06 p.m EDT accompanied by a loud noise. The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeast MA and southeast NH. The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise. Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society.
