    Here is a hi-res pic taken by Artemis II astronauts of the Sun setting behind the lunar limb.

    In this pic, the Sun's Corona is visible as streamers radiating away from the Sun.

    The pic's width is ~10 million km at the Sun's distance. The Sun's corona streams out to ~13 million km, as measured by the Parker Solar Probe.

    The Moon's jagged backlit topography is visible in this image.

    Artemis II recovery preparations have been in full swing for the past few days with the USS John P. Murtha (LPD) and personnel from NASA, the Navy and the Air Force.

    NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman arrived aboard a U.S. Navy CMV-22 Osprey about an hour ago along with a few other officials.

    “Run to the Water” by Live

    "Run to the water
    And find me there
    Burnt to the core, but not broken
    We'll cut through the madness
    Of these streets below the moon
    With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

    Yeah, I can see it now Lord
    Out beyond all the breakin' of waves
    And the tribulation
    It's a place and the home of ascended souls
    Who swam out there in love"

    Artemis II is in radio blackout for 6 minutes after re-entry.

    And we have a visual of the spacecraft from an aircraft in the area - the pale white dot 😲

    A look at Artemis II mission control in Houston, the large number of displays and the enormous amount of data displayed and monitored by mission control personnel.

    There are 4 rows of displays and personnel in this image.

    At the time of this photograph, ~3 hours into the mission, the Artemis II crew was conducting a manual piloting test called the proximity operations demo.

    How do you watch a solar eclipse from space?

    The same way you do from Earth - using eclipse glasses 😎

    Looking fabulous - Mission Specialist Christina Koch (top left), Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen (bottom left), Commander Reid Wiseman (bottom right), and Pilot Victor Glover (top right).

    Wake-up music for Artemis II astronauts today - “Under Pressure,” by Queen and David Bowie.

    "It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
    Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
    Pray tomorrow gets me higher
    Pressure on people, people on streets
    ...
    Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
    Why can't we give love that one more chance?"

    Very apt song for these trying times.
    And featuring, among others, astrophysicist and guitarist Sir Brian May.

    Can't find any info on the status of the TACHELES 6U CubeSat from Germany, deployed by Artemis II. Except that it is in a 156.4 x 70,254.4 km elliptical inclined orbit.

    The satellite is designed to test the effect of radiation on electronics for lunar rovers being built by the German company NEUROSPACE.

    The name comes from the German Tacheles, "straight talk," which is itself derived from Yiddish תּכלית (takhles, 'purpose, result').

      Mission TACHELES
      We are proud to announce, that NEUROSPACE is part of NASA's ARTEMIS 2 mission! TACHELES is a 12U CubeSat, built to survive in deep space. The payload are the rover’s electronics, integrated into the satellite that is raised to an altitude of over 38,000 km, passing through both Van Allen radiation belts. The rover’s microcontrollers are distributed across three separate boards to detect single-event effects, alongside an additional shielded board. Additional radiation sensors provide detailed insights into the radiation environment. These data are essential for optimizing the rover’s electronics for future use, for example, on the Moon. TACHELES is MADE IN BERLIN and we want to thank our supporters: DLR and Berlin Partner to make this happen! For TACHELES an internation agreement has been singed between DLR and NASA. This mission is funded by the BMWK (Bundes Wirtschaftsministerium für Wirtschaft und Klima)

    Artemis II astronauts are preparing for splashdown off the coast of San Diego tomorrow April 10 at 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT).

    Here are some graphics from NASA illustrating the sequence and timing of events for re-entry, descent and splashdown.

    The crew module will enter Earth's atmosphere at 38,405 km/h south-east of Hawaii with splashdown 13 minutes later.

    A fascinating image of the Moon's far side during the total solar eclipse, as seen last night by Artemis II astronauts around 01:06:19 UTC.

    The glowing halo around the dark lunar disk is due to the zodiacal light, i.e, Sunlight reflected off space dust.

    The left side of the moon is dimly lit up by Earth-shine, light reflected off Earth, located off the frame in the distance on the left.
