The astronauts. Their ride around the Moon.
The Artemis II astronauts pose for a group photo after viewing their Orion spacecraft — which they named Integrity — in the well deck of USS John P. Murtha following their splashdown.
All four of the Artemis II astronauts have been successfully extracted from the Orion spacecraft following splashdown and are now on the USS John P. Murtha. Next up, they will be escorted to the medical bay where they will undergo post-mission medical evaluations.
Big smiles from Christina and Victor on the deck of the USS John P. Murtha, as they waited to be escorted for their routine post-mission medical checks.
LIVE: They are coming home.
Watch as the Artemis II crew returns to Earth, splashing down at around 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11). https://t.co/n3vZE2rcFv
Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
Lights, camera… lunar action. 📸🌕
For Artemis II, Orion will carry 31 cameras designed to capture the mission from every angle. From external cameras mounted on the solar arrays to internal cabin views documenting crew life, these imaging systems will record key moments like launch, solar array deployment, and the spacecraft’s distant journey around the Moon. A dedicated optical navigation camera will photograph Earth and the Moon to help Orion determine its position in deep space, while handheld Nikon Z9 cameras give the crew the ability to capture high‑resolution imagery through the windows.
CRAYOLA’S DANDELION IS BACK! 💛🖍️
Crayola formally reintroduced the Dandelion color on Wednesday as part of its celebration of National Crayon Day.
"Today we're celebrating the very special return of Dandelion to the Crayola family—found in the 64ct and 24ct crayon boxes!" the caption read.
The shade was discontinued in 2017 as part of a product update.
Joining the celebration was influencer LaKenzie Leigh-Andrea Powell, who became famous for her social media content dedicated to collecting the warm, dusty yellow crayon. (Facebook/Crayola)
@astro_reid In this image, also taken from the Orion capsule, we see the divide between night and day, known as the terminator, cutting across Earth. Whether awake or dreaming, we're all here on this planet together.
These two images were taken by @astro_reid only minutes apart. The stark difference is the result of camera settings. In the first, a longer shutter speed let in much more light from Earth, while the shorter shutter speed in the second emphasizes our planet's nighttime glow.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
