After their historic lunar flyby, the crew safely splashed down in the Pacific.
NASA's Artemis II mission lifted off on April 1 at 6:35 p.m. ET from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The four-person crew completed a 695,081-mile, 10-day journey around the moon, also known as a lunar fly-by.
A "textbook" splashdown took place at 8:07 p.m. ET on Friday, April 10.
The total solar eclipse has ended and the lunar flyby has concluded, NASA said. The Artemis II crew is now beginning the return trip home.
On Tuesday, the Orion spacecraft will exit the lunar sphere of influence at approximately 1:25 p.m. ET -- about 41,072 miles from the moon, according to the space agency.
The Artemis II crew named a crater on the moon, sitting on the boundary of the near side and far side, after mission commander Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll.
Carroll Wiseman passed away in 2020 after a five-year battle with cancer, according to her obituary.
"We lost a loved one. Her name was Carroll. The spouse of Reid, the mother of Katie and Ellie," Canadian Space Agency astronaut and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen said earlier on Monday, tearing up. "It's a bright spot on the moon. And we would like to call it Carroll."
The crew shared a long group hug afterwards.
For another crater on the far side of the moon, Hansen said the crew would like to name it "Integrity," in honor of the name the astronauts have given the spacecraft that carried them farther into space than any other human in history.

The Artemis II astronauts sent back descriptions of the total solar eclipse they viewed from space to NASA's Mission Control.
"It’s truly hard to describe. It is amazing," pilot Victor Glover said.
Glover said that the Orion spacecraft was made as dark as possible due to every bit of light in the cabin affecting the view.
"It’s a wicked view," he said of the darkened moon with deep space behind it.
"It’s indescribable," commander Reid Wiseman added. "No matter how long we look at this our brains are not processing this image in front of us. It is absolutely spectacular, surreal, there’s no adjectives. I’m gonna need to invent some new ones to describe what we’re looking at right now."
The Artemis II crew have entered a total solar eclipse from space as Orion, the moon and the Sun have aligned.
The astronauts will see a mostly darkened moon and analyze the solar corona, which is the Sun’s outermost atmosphere, as it appears around the edge of the moon, according to NASA.
The total solar eclipse will last for about an hour. The four astronauts are also the first humans to view a total solar eclipse from space.
