We should have a holiday where lights are turned off to appreciate our starry night. We should call it "Space Day"

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

The Project Hail Mary Synchronicity Timeline continues

And everything under the Sun is in tune 🎶 This image from the eclipse during the Artemis II lunar flyby captures a halo of light around the Moon. Scientists are still investigating if the glow comes from interstellar dust or the solar corona.

I’m seated!

Artemis II Moon mission complete! ✅✅✅✅✅✅ - Space Launch System rocket launched crew into space - Orion spacecraft kept astronauts safe - Flew around the Moon, observed its far side - New human spaceflight distance record - Crew safely returned to Earth - Inspired the WORLD

"We are fortunate to be in this agency at this time together." Artemis II pilot Victor Glover expresses gratitude for everyone who supported him throughout his lunar mission.

Stop what you are doing and listen to this!!

Every crewed mission to the Moon to date

I genuinely cannot believe this

On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

The astronauts. Their ride around the Moon. The Artemis II astronauts pose for a group photo after viewing their Orion spacecraft — which they named Integrity — in the well deck of USS John P. Murtha following their splashdown.

genuinely unfathomable video i cannot begin to imagine the feeling of seeing the beauty of earth below you as you go into a firery freefall hoping you don't burn up and die lol

here’s your I-watched-the-artemis-II-splashdown-with-my-own-eyes badge 🏅

I like how Artemis II is not the end of a mission, but the start. This begins America’s journey to landing on the moon and in a few years after that… establishing a permanent moon base.

Can we all agree that in a world of influencers, Z-listers, TikToks, badly acted ads, brand collabs, people filming themselves crying…the Artemis livestream of 4 middle-aged scientists doing their jobs is genuinely the best most authentic content of the century? Thanks @NASA🌚

It blows my mind that the projected splashdown time for Artemis II was 5:07pm, and it was, in fact, 5:07pm. Just a casual spot-on ETA from the fucking moon, no big deal.
