#ArtemisII will return to Earth tomorrow morning, our time (about 8am Saturday morning AEST).
Watch the return live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_veRvxj-5VQ
The Moon and light from at least five objects in our solar system appear in this view from the @NASAArtemis II crew: Saturn, Mars, and Mercury, along with reflected sunlight from Earth and the glow of the Sun's corona and/or zodiacal light scattered by interplanetary dust. 1/2

One of my favorite descriptions heard:
"We talked about naming some colors. A brownish hue and a greenish hue. And, I'll tell you, like right now, Aristarchus, the plateau.... it's hard for me to see from this window.... but that had greenish hues to me, and was very unique."
Jeremy Hansen / Artemis II astronaut
Think about that: green. On the far side.
Recording available for listening:
20 GigaBytes downloaded by NASA in about 45 minutes.... that could be for thousands of images, or even high-definition video.
The NASA flickr page has only 296 images available to the public, as of this post, and many of them are NOT of the moon.
Where are the color photos from the far side of the moon? The astronauts said they saw greenish hues. I would like to see that.
