00:00Let's take a look at some of the photos we received from flight day 6 in the lunar flyby.
00:04Now most of us have been used to seeing the iconic Apollo 8 Earthrise image.
00:10Now you might think that this is the same image, but the reality is this is actually Earthset,
00:16as captured by the Artemis 2 crew.
00:18This is when the crew began to go to the far side of the moon and the Earth was setting.
00:24So from behind the moon, the crew watched the Earthset, and you can see a soft blue arc
00:31fading behind a silent and cratered horizon.
00:36So part of the world was already in darkness during this time.
00:39That's why you can see that little crescent of the moon.
00:42And the rest of the world was still in motion with daylight.
00:47And the clouds are there half a world away, and the oceans are visible from this distance as well.
00:55In the foreground, we can see the craters of the moon that have been unchanged for billions of years.
01:03This is an absolutely stunning image.
01:06And for those of you watching us right now, I hope you are evoked with the emotions that I am
01:12as I look at this.
01:14We also have another image here that we'd like to share with you all.
01:17And here's the other image that was taken.
01:20This was captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby.
01:24Once again, that lunar flyby took place on flight day 6, April 6, 2026.
01:31And this view shows the moon fully eclipsing the Earth, the Sun.
01:36Fully eclipsing the Sun.
01:38From their vantage point, the moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun,
01:42creating nearly 54 minutes of totality, far longer than what we can expect here on Earth.
01:49You also see the Sun's corona that's forming a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk,
01:56revealing the outer atmosphere normally hidden by the Sun's brightness.
02:00With the moon in shadow, even distant stars become available.
02:04Take that in for a second.
02:05Take that in for a second.
02:07Take that in for a second.
02:08Take that in for a second.
02:08Take that in for a second.
02:08Take that in for a second.
02:09Take that in for a second.
02:09Take that in for a second.
02:09You
