'Welcome home, Artemis': Crew celebrates historic 10-day moon mission

NASA has shared additional photos of the far side of the moon taken during the Artemis II crew's historic lunar flyby on Monday.

One image shows a close-up view of Vavilov Crater, an impact crater on the rim of the older and larger Hertzsprung impact basin, none of which can be seen from Earth.

Another image shows the Orientale basin in the center with a black patch of ancient lava that punched through the moon's crust in an eruption billions of years ago. It is located on the western border between the near and far side of the moon and is hard to see from Earth.

A third image captures the lunar surface in sharp detail while a distant Earth hovers in the background.

Also captured by the Artemis II crew is the heavily cratered terrain of the eastern edge of the South Pole-Aitken basin, an impact crater on the far side of the moon.

The basin is seen with the shadowed terminator -- the boundary between lunar day and night -- at the top of the image.

NASA released a photo of the Artemis II crew donning eclipse glasses ahead of the solar eclipse.

The image shows (from far left) Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover protecting their eyes at key moments during the solar eclipse they experienced on Monday.

NASA has shared a photo of the moon fully eclipsing the sun, taken aboard the Orion spacecraft.

The image shows a mostly darkened moon with the solar corona, which is the Sun's outermost atmosphere, glowing around the moon's edge.

The Artemis II astronauts are the first humans to have witnessed a total solar eclipse in space.

The solar eclipse lasted for about an hour, according to NASA.

NASA has shared the first photos from the Artemis II crew's historic lunar flyby, including a stunning image of Earth.

The photo shows the crew's view of an Earthset as the planet disappears beyond the lunar horizon and the astronauts make their way to the far side of the moon.

The photo bears a striking resemblance to "Earthrise," a photo taken in 1968 from lunar orbit by astronaut William Anders during the Apollo 8 mission, which was the first crewed mission to reach the moon.
