Artemis II Solar Eclipse
- 09 April 2026
The Artemis II mission recently completed its landmark voyage around the Moon, marking the first departure of humans from Earth orbit in over fifty years. Soon after Artemis II set the record of human distance from Earth, the astronauts took stunning photos of the the solar eclipse they observed on April 6 (EDT) / April 7 (UTC). We highly recommend watching the recording of the eclipse on YouTube; the reactions and descriptions of the astronauts are worth it.
