Artemis II crew moon photo annotations
A visualization of a dark moon eclipsing the sun is marked with handwritten notes in this April 6, 2026, screenshot from an Artemis II crew member's tablet.
On April 6, 2026, NASA's Artemis II crew observed five faint lunar impact flashes while aboard Orion, 74,000 kilometers from the moon. The astronauts, including Reid Wiseman, Victor Ike Glover, and Jeremy Hansen, captured these brief bursts of light in a screenshot from Wiseman's tablet. These flashes occur when rocky fragments strike the lunar surface. The crew's observations and resulting imagery are now publicly available for further study by the global science community.
