NASA’s Artemis II crew has shared new images of Earth from space. The spacecraft is now halfway between Earth and the Moon. Commander Reid Wiseman took the photos after a key engine burn. He called the view “spectacular.” The images show Earth’s oceans, clouds, and glowing auroras. One picture also shows the line between day and night. The crew said they felt joy after reaching this point. The mission is the first human journey beyond Earth orbit since 1972. The spacecraft will travel around the Moon and return on April 10. NASA said Earth still looks beautiful from space after many years. (PC: Nasa/Reid Wiseman)
