Artemis II images

This is large­ly a “note to self” post, but oth­ers might be inter­est­ed too: NASA has a gallery on their web­site ded­i­cat­ed to images from Artemis II’s lunar fly­by.

Here’s the full text from the “Earth­set” image above:

Earth­set cap­tured through the Ori­on space­craft win­dow at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, dur­ing the Artemis II crew’s fly­by of the Moon. A mut­ed blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar sur­face. The dark por­tion of Earth is expe­ri­enc­ing night­time. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are vis­i­ble over the Aus­tralia and Ocea­nia region. In the fore­ground, Ohm crater has ter­raced edges and a flat floor inter­rupt­ed by cen­tral peaks. Cen­tral peaks form in com­plex craters when the lunar sur­face, liq­ue­fied on impact, splash­es upwards dur­ing the crater’s formation.
