A 54-minute solar eclipse with the Sun’s corona fully visible. Earth is setting behind the Moon’s surface. The far side of the Moon was photographed by humans for the first time since Apollo. And for 40 minutes, the crew went completely silent. This is every image from NASA’s Artemis II mission — explained.

NASA’s Artemis II flight crew began the walk that every NASA astronaut has made since Apollo 7 in 1968, heading to the elevator and down through the double doors below the Neil A. Armstrong Building’s Astronaut Crew Quarters at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Before getting into their convoy, they waved to family, friends, and NASA officials.
From a Florida launch on April 1 to splashdown landing in the Pacific Ocean, relive the start and end of the historic Artemis II moon mission.
US President Donald Trump calls the Artemis II crew and congratulates the astronauts on the record-breaking mission.
“Today, you’ve made history and made all of America really proud,” Mr Trump said. “Humans have really never seen anything quite like what you’re doing. “You’ve really inspired the entire world.”
‘VIPER is planned for delivery to the lunar surface in late 2024 under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. During its 100-day mission VIPER will travel several miles, over crater rims and occasionally into permanently shadowed craters – which are one of the coldest places in our solar system – to sample different kinds of lunar soils and environments.
VIPER represents the first resource mapping mission on another celestial body and will deepen our understanding of how frozen water and other volatiles are distributed on the Moon, their cosmic origin, and what has kept them preserved in the lunar soil for billions of years.’ – https://www3.nasa.gov/send-your-name-with-viper/
