- NASA shared the first high-resolution images of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew.
- The images were captured after a successful trans-lunar injection burn set the spacecraft on a trajectory toward the Moon.
- Artemis II, with its four astronauts, is on a path around the far side of the Moon, marking the first human travel beyond Earth's orbit since 1972.
- The crew, glued to the windows, took photos showing Earth's dark side lit by the Moon, the terminator line, auroras, and Venus.
