The eclipse from Orion.
On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.
The Artemis II crew captured this image showing the rings of the Orientale basin during their lunar flyby on April 6.
At the 10 o’clock position of the Orientale basin, the two smaller craters – which the Artemis II crew has suggested be named Integrity & Carroll – are visible.
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.
At 1:56 p.m. (ET) on April 6, 2026, Jeremy, Christina, Victor and Reid have officially become the four humans to travel farther from Earth than anyone before, surpassing the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 (400,171 kilometers).
