A screenshot from the NASA livestream showing the splashdown of the Orion spacecraft. Three red and white parachutes are visible crumpling up at various distances from the small metal craft, all against the deep blue of the ocean
Earth peeks above the lunar horizon, which takes up the bottom half of the image. The dark grey moon is covered in craters, and earth is a cloudy white with bits of blue peeking through
Image from the Artemis II mission taken from a camera on the solar array. The Orion spacecraft is visible in silhouette on the left, with the top part slightly illuminated. On the right, a solar eclipse, with the moon blocking out sunlight. The moon is surrounded by a faint haze, and a slim crescent is lit up on the upper left of the side facing the camera, illuminated by Earthlight
Earth set: the illuminated crescent of earth is visible above the illuminated crescent of the moon. Swirling clouds are visible over blue ocean on Earth. The moon in the foreground is a grey brown and pockmarked with craters
A high resolution image of earth fully illuminated. In the lower left region, the far side of the moon is lit up as it transits the earth, appearing about 1/4 the size of the planet
The moon, almost completely in shadow, blocks out the sun in an eclipse. The suns atmosphere is a white haze extended out past the moon, and stars are visible in the background. The left side of the moon is slightly lit up due to light coming from earth
Earth set: the illuminated crescent of earth is visible above the lunar horizon. Swirling clouds are visible over blue ocean (the Oceania region). The moon in the foreground is a grey brown and pockmarked with dozens of craters
An image of the Orion spacecraft with the crescent earth in the background. Annotations labelling Orion “4 people” and earth “8.3 billion people”
Screenshot from NASA livestream showing the Orion spacecraft on the left, with a crescent moon in the foreground and in the distance on the right the crescent Earth
Screenshot from the Artemis II livestream showing the edge of the Orion spacecraft and a half moon. A red arrow points to the line that cuts the moon in half-the terminator
Image of a desk, live footage of the Orion spacecraft shown on a laptop while a larger monitor shows code running on terminal. Lego T-Rex in the background
A view of the interior of the Orion capsule. A window takes up most of the frame, through which Earth is visible. About 1/3 of the planet is shown, with cloud patterns over the ocean
