This might be the MOST STUNNING photo from Artemis II yet

Crescent Earth illuminated by light above 🤩

📷 Artemis II

Looking through one of the four windows of the Orion spacecraft, a tiny crescent Earth is illuminated against the blackness of space and grows smaller as the crew journeys closer to the Moon. Part of the window edge is visible; the rest is darkness. [Alt-text slightly revised from ESA/NASA version]

We are so, so small. #Artemis

New look at crescent Earth 🌎

📷 Artemis II

Boy in a tree. Our boy. 💟

He loves the outdoors, and pushing himself to climb. We're blessed to have so many climbable trees where we live.

#Edinburgh

A crescent Earth against the black of space.

Some of the imagery coming down from the Artemis II crew is breathtaking...

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

New look at the Moon 🌕

Armitage was truly amazing. Such a world. Sean's work and is just gorgeous. As is Cesare's. You're both amazing artists, more power to you. 💟
