00:00Take 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.
00:11Now you might think that this is the same image, but the reality is this is actually Earth-set,
00:17as captured by the Artemis II crew.
00:20This is when the crew began to go to the far side of the Moon, and the Earth was setting.
00:28So from behind the Moon, the crew watched the Earth-set,
00:32and you can see a soft blue arc fading behind a silent and cratered horizon.
00:40So part of the world was already in darkness during this time.
00:43That's why you can see that little crescent of the Moon.
00:48And the rest of the world was still in motion with daylight.
00:52And the clouds are there half a world away, and the oceans are visible from this distance as well.
01:00In the foreground, we can see the craters of the Moon that have been unchanged for billions of years.
01:13This is an absolutely stunning image.
01:16And for those of you watching us right now, I hope you are evoked with the emotions that I am
01:22as I look at this.
01:28We also have another image here that we'd like to share with you all.
01:31And here's the other image that was taken.
01:34This was captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby.
01:38Once again, that lunar flyby took place on Flight Day 6, April 6, 2026.
01:45And this view shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Earth, the Sun.
01:50Fully eclipsing the Sun.
01:54From their vantage point, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun,
01:58creating nearly 54 minutes of totality, far longer than what we can expect here on Earth.
02:05You also see the Sun's corona that's forming a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk,
02:13revealing the outer atmosphere normally hidden by the Sun's brightness.
02:19With the Moon in shadow, even distant stars become available.
02:23Take that in for a second.
02:25You can see these points of light that are usually washed out,
02:29but in an image like this, we see them very clearly.
02:36Along the edge, you can also see a faint glow on the Moon's surface,
02:40and that's sunlight being reflected from the Earth,
02:43softly illuminating the near side.
02:47I don't know about you, but this is a striking view
02:50and a rare opportunity to observe and document the corona
02:55as we come around the Moon and this crew heads back on.
