We’re In Utter Disbelief About the Photos the Moon Astronauts Just Sent Back

NASA’s Artemis 2 crew sent back historic photos during a record-setting lunar flyby, traveling farther from Earth than any humans before them.

The astronauts captured Earthset, Earthrise, the Moon’s South Pole-Aitken basin and Orientale Basin, plus a 54-minute total solar eclipse.

NASA shared the images as Orion began its return to Earth, highlighting a milestone for future crewed lunar landings and scientific observation.
