Breathtaking image of the Artemis 1 launch from Kennedy Space Center. The SLS rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft ascends towards a waning crescent moon. The rocket's exhaust plume creates atmospheric effects visible along the moon's illuminated edge. A truly spectacular moment in space exploration.
