Reply all: Hello from space!
When they weren't taking amazing space photos, conducting science, or talking to people back on Earth, the @NASAArtemis II astronauts completed other work – like sending emails – with tablets and smartphones.

And everything under the Sun is in tune 🎶
This image from the eclipse during the Artemis II lunar flyby captures a halo of light around the Moon. Scientists are still investigating if the glow comes from interstellar dust or the solar corona.

The Moon is dark, save for a bright halo of white light surrounding it. The Orion spacecraft is in the leftmost half of the image, mostly shadowed.
Your close personal friends, the @NASAArtemis astronauts (and Rise), can't wait to get home!
In the meantime, enjoy a few new pictures from their camera roll. And watch their return with us live at nasa.gov/live.
ALT Earth peeks just above the horizon of the Moon, which looms large in the foreground. The Moon's surface is covered in craters of various sizes, giving it a spongy, bumpy texture. Earth's upper edge is a dreamy light blue with white clouds.
ALT The crescent Moon, its upper two-thirds in shadow. The visible part of the Moon is a bumpy gray smile against the black of space.
