In Case You Missed It: This morning's launch of @NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope.
[7:26am ET, August 30, 2026].

Will arrive at Sun-Earth L2 in Early December, to discover Exoplanets and observe the effects of Dark Matter & Dark Energy on the Universe.

"Planet Earth: You. Are. A. Crew."

Artemis II mission specialist Christina Koch reflects on what it means to be a "crew."

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

Pheww!!! They're back safe and sound after nearly 10 days in space. Amaze amaze amaze! Looks like it was a perfect landing. Welcome home Artemis II crew 🌍 @NASAArtemis #Moonjoy #NASA #ArtemisII #Splashdown

[NASA @NASA]

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

Woah! The Orion spacecraft could reach speeds of up to 25,000 mph as they hit Earth's atmosphere on re-entry 🤯 That's roughly 32 times the speed of sound!!! #NASA #ArtemisII #Space

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

@NASA Wishing the Artemis II crew a safe return home! 🚀🌍

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

Me glued to the #ArtemisII live stream this past week & catching up on NASA's latest mission briefings every night!!! 😂😂😂 #Moonjoy #Space

After downloading the Earthset pic from NASA's official website i noticed they've included a few extra details! 😎 (Just in case you ever want to fly out to space and photograph it yourself sometime lol)

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

Maximum distance reached by Artemis II (from Earth): 252,756 miles (406,771 km)

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

Amazing! Artemis II broke the Apollo 13 distance record today. As of 1:57pm EDT all 4 astronauts have travelled farther from Earth than any human in history 🤯

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

The distance record previously set by Apollo 13 in 1970 was 248,655 miles (400,171 km)

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

Apparently playing music to the crew in the morning has been a long-time tradition at Mission Control that goes back to the Gemini missions in the 60s

[Raj ⚡️ @BritishRaj]

Happy Moonday! Just discovered NASA "wake-up calls" are a thing 💤 If you were an astronaut heading to the Moon, which song(s) would you want to wake up to ? 🎧 #ArtemisII #NASA #Space

[NASA @NASA]

This view just hits different 🌍

@Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

[NASA @NASA]

Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

[NASA @NASA]

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

Maybe i should read the book first. Or should i wait until i've seen the movie ? 🤔 #ProjectHailMary
