Artemis II Commander and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this breathtaking image of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window, immediately following the translunar injection burn. The photograph reveals two striking auroras (positioned top right and bottom left) along with ethereal zodiacal light (bottom right) as Earth dramatically eclipses the Sun.
This remarkable image, alongside another stunning photo of Earth, represents the inaugural downlink of visuals from the Artemis II crew. Stay tuned for more captivating photos from Orion as they become available.
