  "textContent": "This shot from Artemis II of the Earth eclipsing the Sun is one of the most breathtaking astronomical photos I’ve ever seen. Holy _shit_.\n\n> Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth.\n\nThanks to KDO reader Scott for pointing me to NASA’s Flickr account, which is possibly the easiest way to look at photos taken by the Artemis II mission. Like this one:\n\nAnd this one — then maybe I’ll stop (_maybe_):\n\n**Tags:** artemis · astronomy · Moon · NASA · photography",
