Photos From Artemis II: No prettier planet than ours

Here are photos from the mission. The site will show more photos as they’re shared. It may be time to send someone who is very good with words to describe what it’s like looking at the Earth like this. A poet maybe.

Why is it that of all eight planets and the many moons in the solar system, ours is the most beautiful one? It’s not a case of “you love what you know”, because until the 1960s, we didn’t know what Earth was going to look like from space.

Here is more on Artemis II.
