Artemis II's moonbound astronauts capture Earth's beauty

The Artemis II astronauts have captured Earth's brilliant blue beauty as they zoom ever closer to the moon. NASA released the crew's first downlinked images Friday, 1 1/2 days into the first astronaut moonshot in more than half a century. The first photo taken by commander Reid Wiseman shows a curved slice of Earth in one of the capsule's windows. The second shows the entire globe with the oceans topped by swirling white tendrils of clouds. It even includes a pale green aurora. As of midday Friday, the crew was 100,000 miles from Earth and quickly gaining on the moon.

Astronaut Victor Glover reminds us that while he is on a spaceship far away, we are all on a much larger spaceship called Earth 🌍. In the vast emptiness of the cosmos, our world is a beautiful oasis designed to sustain us. It is a powerful reminder that regardless of culture or belief, we are one people sharing a unique home.

Let's remember who we are and take care of our shared journey together.
