Earthset and a solar eclipse: NASA releases first images from Moon fly-by

NASA released the first photographs from Artemis II astronauts during their Moon flyby, including a stunning "Earthset" image showing Earth beyond the lunar landscape and a spectacular solar eclipse as the Moon blocked the Sun. The astronauts experienced nearly 54 minutes of totality, far longer than Earth-based viewers typically see, with one astronaut describing the corona view as "sci-fi" and "unreal." These historic images echo the famous Apollo 8 Earthrise photograph from 1968 as the crew continues their return journey to Earth.
