Artemis II crew describe ‘overwhelming’ emotions after soaring past the moon

Nasa's Artemis II astronauts have shared their overwhelming emotions while on their journey home after successfully soaring past the moon. The crew worked in pairs at the Orion capsule windows to capture eagerly awaited images, including detailed photographs of impact craters, cracks, and ridges on the lunar surface. Among their significant captures are images of the Earth rising from behind the moon, a solar eclipse, and parts of the 590-mile wide Orientale impact basin that had never before been observed with the naked eye. This mission marks a crucial step in lunar exploration, providing new visual data and paving the way for future endeavors.
