Sky full of stars.
Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
Did you know the Moon actually has color? 🌒 🎨
To the naked eye, we see it as gray, but with the right lens, its full palette appears: blue from titanium, orange from ancient rocks, and more iron on the far side.
This image was taken by Orion, the Artemis II spacecraft, on a mission that also broke the record for the longest distance a human has traveled from Earth.
And there's something beautiful about that. The colors were always there. We just needed the right way to see them. 🥹✨
