What an amazing view of Earth from Artemis II.

The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.

And yes, there are stars!

@coreyspowell @inthehands Whenever I see these shots, I am reminded that we’re all astronauts. Our (sometimes) environmentally controlled craft is spherical in shape, moving through space at 67,000 MPH as it orbits the sun. We have some water and toilet issues, and many of us suffer from Outlook glitches, too.
