See the ‘amazing’ photos of Earth taken on historic Artemis II moon mission


NASA has shared the first breathtaking views of Earth taken from the Artemis II mission as the crew continues its journey toward the moon.

The photos reveal Earth behind the Orion spacecraft, our home planet aglow with aurora.

One photo of Earth, taken Thursday by Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman from the Orion window, shows the planet backlit, with auroras visible at the top right and bottom left, Lakiesha Hawkins, deputy director for NASA’s Artemis program, said Friday during a news conference.
