For the first time in history, humans have seen the entire far side of the moon with their own eyes. NASA’s Artemis II astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen — captured breathtaking images during their lunar flyby, including a stunning “Earthset” and a solar eclipse viewed from the moon.
In this video, we break down the crew’s seven-hour observation mission, their record-breaking distance from Earth (252,756 miles), and what these new photos mean for lunar and planetary science. From the mysterious terminator line to the 3.8-billion-year-old Orientale basin, discover the magic the astronauts witnessed.
