NOW: King Charles III and Queen Camilla lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery to honor America’s fallen service members.
A LEGO set inspired by the film "Project Hail Mary" has set a new Guinness World Record after being launched into the stratosphere and safely returned to Earth.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Artemis II astronaut Jeremy Hansen says a fire alarm went off while they were in space.
"There was no real fire, but you bet we sniffed every corner of that spacecraft trying to find anything."
The full interview airs tonight at 11 pm ET on 'Fox News @ Night.'
"It flew like a dream."
Different members of the Artemis II crew comment on what it was like to manually pilot the Orion spacecraft during their lunar mission.
ICYMI (and seriously…how?): Artemis II just wrapped a lunar mission generations have waited for. 🌕🚀
@NASArtemis launched April 1 at 6:35pm ET, when astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen began their 10‑day journey around the Moon. During their April 6 lunar flyby, the crew tested Orion’s systems in deep space and set a new human‑distance record at 252,756 miles. They splashed down April 10 at 8:07pm ET, becoming the first astronauts to return from lunar distance in more than 50 years. A major step toward the next giant leap.
The bad news? There is no more Artemis II live mission coverage for you to watch. The good news? New Artemis II imagery continues to roll in.

They're halfway home.
The Artemis II astronauts have hit the "halfway" mark between the Moon and the Earth. They will splash down in the Pacific Ocean around 8:07 pm ET on Friday, April 10 (0007 UTC on Saturday, April 11), off the coast of San Diego.
It's not just a phase 🌕
Artemis II astronauts captured these views of the Moon as the Orion spacecraft flew around the far side of the Moon on April 6, 2026.
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.
