Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. https://t.co/hQP0No142P

We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun...

Where will you fly? Share your best maneuvers, views, and flyovers with us!

@zoom_earth Could you show which side of the Earth was facing the Moon at this exact moment? I know for certain that the Indian subcontinent is there, but can't visualize anything amidst the darkness and the clouds.

THE ARTEMIS II ECLIPSE.
April 6, 2026.

Totality, beyond Earth. From lunar orbit, the Moon eclipses the Sun, revealing a view few in human history have ever witnessed. Photo: NASA

Artemis II crew may have been further from the moon, but they have long focal length lenses available to them.

Record broken and history made.

@NASA's Artemis II crew has officially surpassed the distance record set by Apollo 13, traveling farther from Earth than any humans before them.

A new generation is redefining what’s possible, one milestone at a time.

@DJSnM When exactly does Earthset and Earthrise happen in UTC times?

[Jonathan McDowell @planet4589]

The Integrity spacecraft just entered the lunar gravitational sphere of influence, at 0438 UTC Apr 6. Wiseman, Glover, Koch and Hansen are now the 25th to 28th humans to have left terrestrial space.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

This is what Earthset and Earthrise will look like from the POV of Artemis II crew. As it sets it does so against the illuminated side of the moon, when it rises again it's agains the dark side.
The rise is another opportunity for an 'Earth illuminated by moonlight' photo - but much harder to get.

We're going farther than ever before 🚀

Today, the Artemis II crew will break the record for how far humans have traveled from Earth as they fly around the far side of the Moon.

Coverage begins at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC). Watch Artemis II make history: https://t.co/G7LpghURjg

POV: You're flying by the Moon.

This visualization is designed to show you what exactly the Artemis II astronauts will see outside their window during their lunar flyby.

Here, the seven-hour visualization is compressed into 28 seconds. ⬇ (1/4)

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

[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]

@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.

The coolest orbital animation I've seen of Artemis 2

Just really shows you how far away they're flying today and also how precise they need to be to go to the moon

[NASA @NASA]

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.
