NASA’s Artemis II photo flood: 12,000 new lunar flyby images and a dozen must-see frames

NASA added more than 12,000 Artemis II photos from the crew’s 10-day lunar flyby to its public archive, highlighting a curated set of shots—interior Orion views, close lunar approaches, Earthrise scenes, a solar eclipse from space, and Milky Way glimpses—captured by Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen. The crew flew about 4,067 miles (6,545 km) from the Moon and NASA aims to return humans to the lunar surface by 2028; the full gallery is available online for enthusiasts to explore the dozen standout images.

Artemis II Crew Captures Earthset from the Moon’s Far Side on an iPhone

NASA’s Artemis II astronauts captured Earthset from the Moon’s far side using an iPhone, with commander Reid Wiseman posting the clip from the Orion spacecraft as Christina Koch photographed lunar craters; the crew spent about seven hours on observations during the lunar flyby, marking the first around-the-Moon mission in more than five decades and setting the stage for the planned Artemis III landing.

Earthset echoes Earthrise as Artemis II reveals 58 years of planetary change

NASA's Artemis II crew captured the new 'Earthset' image during a seven‑hour Moon flyby, echoing 1968's iconic Earthrise and using it to illustrate how the planet has changed in 58 years: CO₂ has risen about a third and global temperatures have warmed by roughly 1°C, with rapid shifts in land use and cryosphere loss (including Antarctic ice) visible from space. The Earthset image, credited to the crew rather than individuals, joins Earthrise to highlight human impact on Earth while continuing to inspire environmental awareness seen since the Apollo era.

Artemis II's Earthset moment: Earth slips behind the Moon in a poignant space photo

NASA's Artemis II crew captured a dramatic 'Earthset'—a crescent Earth slipping behind the Moon during a lunar flyby, a moment echoing Apollo 8's Earthrise and signaling humanity's return to deep space. Commander Reid Wiseman described it as unbelievable and emotionally moving, with the crew pausing to reflect and sharing maple cookies before resuming science as Orion underwent a 31-minute communications blackout after the pass.

Artemis II's lunar flyby delivers Earthset spectacle and rare Orientale views

During Artemis II’s historic seven-hour lunar flyby, NASA astronauts aboard Orion came within about 4,067 miles of the Moon and roughly 252,756 miles from Earth, capturing thousands of photos that included Earth appearing to set behind the Moon (Earthset), a solar eclipse with visible corona and planets, and views of the Orientale Basin with two newly named craters, Integrity and Carroll; the crew also photographed the Milky Way on the return, while honoring Wiseman’s late wife Carroll and advancing science ahead of future lunar missions.

Earth Sets Over the Moon as Artemis II Hits New Distance Milestone

NASA released the new Earth-set image captured by the Artemis II crew during a far-side lunar flyby, showing Earth dipping below the Moon as the four astronauts — Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen — set a distance record of 252,756 miles from Earth, surpassing Apollo 13’s mark. After a planned 40-minute communications blackout, the crew heads home toward a Pacific splashdown, while scientists use the imagery to study lunar origins and support the Artemis program’s goal to return humans to the Moon (including the south pole).
