That he wanted to be a guest and then was on The New Girl is my favorite #princefact

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Fab!

A view from the window of the Orion spacecraft includes the nearby Moon and the distant crescent Earth.

I'm an unapologetic window gazer on airplanes, and this is SENDING me.

A ghostly view of the Sun's corona seen from behind the Moon, portions of which are faintly visible from Earthshine (our planet is off screen to the left). At lower left, the bright point of light is Venus.

This is haunting.

More from yesterday's solar eclipse viewed by the Artemis II crew.

The Sun's corona is faintly visible emerging from behind the Moon.

And, at lower left, Venus.

A crescent Earth, truncated by the rugged, uneven limb of the Moon.

Earthrise.

That shape cutting off the right-hand side of Earth is the Moon.

A portion of the lunar surface is visible through one of the windows on the Artemis II Orion crew capsule. Beyond is a small, crescent Earth.

IMPORTANT ARTEMIS II HOT SAUCE UPDATE

Thanks to Carlie Kollath Wells’ reporting out of Axios New Orleans (which I confirmed via email since there are two versions of the article out) ….

WE HAVE OUR LIST.

It’s these 4 pictured, plus Heinz Hot Taco Sauce!

This photo of the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun is a nice example of a coronagraph. Once the Moon blocks out the light from the Sun, you can then see the stars around you. I've processed this image as well to bring out the detail and ran it through a denoise app. images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Before going to sleep on flight day 5, the Artemis II crew snapped one more photo of the Moon, as it drew close in the window of the Orion spacecraft. Orion and the four humans aboard entered the lunar sphere of influence at 06:37 CEST on 6 April, at the tail end of the fifth day of their mission. That marked the point at which the Moon's gravity had a stronger pull on the spacecraft than Earth's. Artemis II's closest approach to the Moon will come on flight day 6, as they swing around the far side before beginning their journey back to Earth.

✅ #Artemis II update: the spacecraft entered the lunar sphere of influence this morning at 05:37 BST/06:37 CEST, 6 April, at about 51 000 km from the Moon (the region of space where the Moon’s gravitational pull is stronger than that of Earth’s).

Earth from space, with a very bright arc on its bottom right edge from the sun illuminating it, and little green and red arcs of aurora at the poles.

I downloaded the high-res version of this amazing picture from the Artemis crew and did a little edit to make it look more like what the astronauts might actually see!

Enjoy the picture and then check out the thread below explaining what you’re looking at… 🧪 #artemis #artemisii #space #moon

Annotation of all the stars (and the planet Venus) visible in the background around the image of Earth in the new nighttime view of our planet from Artemis II.

There is a full universe behind that wonderful new Artemis II "Night Marble" view of Earth.

Here's a breakdown of the stars (and one planet) in the field of view. Look at us! Just a planet hanging out in space.
