Artemis II crew take “spectacular” image of Earth (bbc.com)

NASA has released the first high-resolution photos taken by the Artemis II crew from inside the Orion capsule as the mission reaches the halfway point to the Moon. Commander Reid Wiseman captured an image of Earth (“Hello, World”) showing the Atlantic, atmospheric glow, auroras and Venus, along with views of the day-night “terminator” and Earth in near-darkness. Artemis II is now on a looped path that will take the crew around the Moon’s far side before returning to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific.
