ALT Image of Saturn backlit by the Sun. A quarter of its large rings are at the top right and the image is overexposed to show the uniilluminated sphere of Saturn. Below the rings is a tiny star-looking dot, which is Earth.

ALT This image was captured during the lunar flyby portion of the Artemis II mission on April 6, 2026. Earth is in a crescent phase, with sunlight coming from the right. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth\u2019s day side, swirling clouds are visible over muted blue in the Australia and Oceania region. There are small indentations on the Moon\u2019s rugged surface. Credit: NASA

ALT Earth peeks just above the horizon of the Moon, which looms large in the foreground. The Moon's surface is covered in craters of various sizes, giving it a spongy, bumpy texture. Earth's upper edge is a dreamy light blue with white clouds.

ALT The crescent Moon, its upper two-thirds in shadow. The visible part of the Moon is a bumpy gray smile against the black of space.

ALT The line between night and day, or the terminator, is at the top of this image of the Moon. As the Artemis II crew described, the terminator is \"anything but a straight line.\" The Moon's surface is heavily cratered at the top, but the number of craters tapers off as you continue downward.

ALT The small, bright spot in the center of the image is the crater that the Artemis II crew have proposed as Carroll, after Commander Reid Wiseman\u2019s late wife. About 3.5 miles across (5.6 km in diameter), the proposed Carroll crater is on the nearside of the lunar surface on the western edge and would be visible from Earth with powerful telescopes.

Wiseman\u2019s face is brightly lit by a combination of light from outside the window and the glow of a screen in front of him. His face is upturned to look out the window above him. Credit: NASA

ALT Victor Glover in the Orion spacecraft. His head is tilted back to look out a window above him, obscuring his face from the camera. The interior of the spacecraft is dark. Glover is mostly cast in shadow, except for his side profile. Credit: NASA

ALT Jeremy Hansen takes a photograph out the window of the Orion spacecraft window. Hansen has the viewfinder of the camera pressed against his face and his left hand is adjusting the lens. Around him, the interior of the spacecraft is dark except for a brightly glowing screen in front of him and some areas of red glow. Credit: NASA

ALT A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA
