The glowing lights of Earth at night, as seen from the International Space Station

We're witnessing history tonight. In a few hours the Artemis 2/Integrity spacecraft will perform its lunar flyby. @NASAArtemis @NASA @NASAAdmin @astrosteven_ @ELGR3CO @FelixSchlang @Truthful_ast @emilio_cozzi @letiziadavoli @Ellieinspace @a_a_f_t @DJSnM

#ArtemisII hat das Ziel vor Augen 👀 Die nächsten Stunden werden spannend!

🚨: HISTORY! Artemis II with its four astronauts on board, have now traveled further from earth then any other humans in history.

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment. I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧

🚨: NASA's ARTEMIS II CREW BREAKS APOLLO 13'S RECORD FOR THE FARTHEST HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT, SURPASSING 248,655 MILES (400,171.432 KM) FROM EARTH.

Ob Komet MAPS die Sonnennähe am 04.04. überleben wird, ist weiterhin unklar. Bei der Passage heute in einer Woche wird er nur rund 160.000 Kilometer von der Sonnenoberfläche entfernt sein. Eine Aufnahme von Michael Jäger und Gerald Rhemann vom 23.03.: spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.p…

This is beautiful, Artemis II's climb to orbit from the SAW cameras 10x sped up

Just imagine the view the crew of Artemis II will have when they wake up... (processed screenshot from NASA TV)

🚨: CONFIRMED SEPARATION! The powerful Orion spacecraft of the Artemis II mission has been precisely released from the SLS upper stage, paving its way toward its historic rendezvous with the Moon. Tomorrow, humanity will take a giant leap: Orion will perform the first crewed lunar flyby in over half a century. The era of returning to the Moon has begun!

#ArtemisII's Orion is now approaching the Moon. Tomorrow, April 6th it will be the rendezvous and the single circle around it. #MoonRace

✅#Artemis II update: Day 5, Orion is moving at 1536 km/h, 356 379 km from Earth and 89 967 km from the Moon. One last look at Earth before arriving at the Moon (pic: NASA). See nasa.gov/missions/artem…

Another view of service module fairing jettison. You can see one panel get pushed by the core stage exhaust. #ArtemisII

Earth, Jupiter and Venus seen from Mars.😮 225 million miles away from us.

Farewell World. After yeterday's stunning "Hello World" photo, Christina Koch is seen here gazing out of the window as Earth gets smaller. Neil Armstrong once said there's no feeling of motion (there's no wind resistance of course) and Earth simply sinks into the inky blackness.

We live in the future. A quiet moment on a spaceship heading to the moon.
