Artemis II Earth and Moon viewing anticipation

April 5, 2026Scott Manley, A. Pettit, Grant Tremblay

Tony Dunn, TheSpaceEngineer, and Truthful focus on what the crew will see during translunar coast and flyby, emphasizing unusually large Moon views and stunning Earth photos.

This looks like it's a daytime shot, but, it's actually taken from the dark side of Earth, with the planet illuminated by moonlight.
This lets faint details like the aurora, stars and the sodium layer show up without over exposing the planet.
Artemis missions are going to give us the photography set of the generation
So I was sleeping on how incredible even the day 1 and 2 photos would be.
if i was an astronaut, they’d have to pull me away from the window cause i’d just keep looking at how beautiful earth is
“Farewell World.”
“the most stunning photo of Earth I’ve ever seen.”
“Wow! Starship tower sections in the foreground with Artemis II”
“Hello Moon”
“Might be my favorite so far!! Love window views.”
“2/3rds of the way to the moon”
“made a little mockup”
“how large their apparent view of the earth and moon are”
“Earth as seen right now from Integrity”
Artemis II will be halfway between Earth and the Moon (by distance).
The Moon will look unusually large to the crew.
Just saw Orion TLI here in South Florida.
the photos of Earth are going to be stunning
