NASA astronaut and Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman photographed Earth from the window of the Orion spacecraft after completing the translunar injection maneuver.
The photograph taken by Reid Wiseman, which depicts the night side of Earth from space, has been published on NASA’s website.
“The image shows two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) as the Earth eclipses the Sun.
This and another image of Earth are the first images photographed by the Artemis II astronauts,” the statement accompanying the photo says.
