NASA has released an annotated image from the Artemis II mission showing a dark Moon eclipsing the Sun, marked with handwritten notes by crew members. The screenshot, dated April 6, 2026, comes from an astronaut's tablet and records observations made aboard Orion while the spacecraft was 46,000 miles from the Moon, according to the agency.

NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, marked in blue, and Victor "Ike" Glover, in green, along with CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen, in red, noted the locations of impact flashes. The crew reported seeing five extremely faint "pinprick" bursts of light, which NASA says are sparked by rocky fragments hitting the Moon.

The Artemis II crew traveled to the Moon and back between April 1 and April 10, 2026, gathering imagery and scientific observations. NASA says the full lunar science dataset from the journey is now available to the global science community and the public for further study, with a report, crew audio observations and additional material offered for exploration.
