A NASA visualization shows a dark Moon partially obscuring the Sun, annotated with handwritten notes by the Artemis II crew. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor "Ike" Glover, and Canadian Space Agency member Jeremy Hansen observed five incredibly faint "pinprick" flashes of light on their Orion spacecraft, located 46,000 miles from the Moon.
These flashes were caused by small rock particles impacting the lunar surface. From April 1 to 10, 2026, the Artemis II crew orbited the Moon and back, capturing remarkable images and valuable scientific data. The complete lunar science dataset from their mission is now open for exploration by both the global scientific community and the public.
