NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window after completing the translunar injection burn. There are two auroras (top right and bottom left) and zodiacal light (bottom right) is visible as the Earth eclipses the Sun.

This and another photo of Earth are the first downlinked images from the Artemis II astronauts. See and hear what the astronauts do with our 24/7 feed.

Nice view.

Did they get the toilet fixed?

Big Blue Marble

The earth’s a Big Blue Marble
When you see it from out there
The sun and moon declare
Our beauty’s very rare

Folks are folks and kids are kids
We share a common name
We speak a different way
But work and play the same

We sing pretty much alike
Enjoy spring pretty much alike
Peace and love we all understand
And laughter, we use the very same brand

Our differences, our problems
From out there there’s not much trace
Our friendships they can place
While looking at the face
Of the Big Blue Marble in space

I am guessing the code brown has been fixed...?

Suitable for printing!

If you really look hard enough, you can see the effects of global climate change.

My Mom: “I TOLD YOU TO GO before we left! I am NOT stopping this Spacecraft!”

[mewzilla]

Yes, they got the toilet fixed.

If that brown patch is an upside down northern Africa, what’s that weird little light colored blob out in the Atlantic..?

[Sicon]

No, this is totally fake. There was no launch. There are no astronauts on their way to the moon.

<removes "We never went to the moon" imbecile hat>

Heh heh heh...

Maybe the space station? Panels catching the reflection off the sun?

This is one of the things I have been most looking forward to (in the short term) on this mission-the Hi-Def imagery (still and video) we will get.

[Tell It Right]

I was joking my wife, wondering if Alex Jones will swear this mission is faked LOL

[mewzilla]

Oh, cool...

I think you’ve got it! :-)

Art.

Why not send a picture of America?

[marktwain]

Does that image have the South pole on top?

I suspect the big brown blob is the Sahara.

Perhaps someone else can better identify the origination.
