阿尔忒弥斯二号机组人员于本周二公布了一批精美照片，展现了月球远端的壮观景象以及太空中的日食画面。
美国航天局发布的一张照片展示了“地出”——地球隐入月球后方的景象。画面中地球部分区域处于黑暗之中，地球表面的澳大利亚和大洋洲清晰可见，月球的细节则出现在照片前景处。
白宫针对这张照片评价道：“来自另一侧的人类文明。”

这张照片拍摄于周一晚间，当时阿尔忒弥斯二号机组正在飞越月球——他们成为首批用肉眼观测月球部分远端区域的人类，也是历史上距离地球最远的人类。
另一张绝美照片展现了月球遮挡太阳的日食景象。这场日食无法在地球表面观测到，只有航天器上的机组人员得以目睹，宇航员们需要佩戴日食眼镜保护眼睛，直到月球完全遮蔽太阳。
美国航天局针对这张照片介绍道：“从机组人员的视角来看，月球看起来大到足以完全挡住太阳，形成近54分钟的全食阶段，观测视野远超地球表面所能看到的范围。”

宇航员维克多·格洛弗表示，日食期间太阳日冕依然清晰明亮，形成了“几乎环绕整个月球的光晕”。他说，拍摄的照片无法完全展现这一壮观场景。
“它看起来太不真实了。你可以看到月球表面映衬着地球反光……实际上能看到月球的大部分区域。能看到月球表面这么多细节，这是最奇特的景象。”他在周一晚间说道。
他告诉美国航天局，他“非常高兴”任务按时发射，得以观测这场持续约一小时的日食。
“人类或许还未进化到能亲眼目睹我们所见的景象，”他说，“这真的难以用语言形容，太神奇了。”
美国航天局于周二上午公布的另一张照片展现了月球上布满褶皱的陨石坑和长长的阴影，部分区域位于月球昼夜交替的边界地带。

阿尔忒弥斯二号机组目前正在返回地球的途中。他们预计将于周五晚间在加利福尼亚州圣迭戈附近海域溅落。
Earthset, moon, eclipse captured in stunning images taken by Artemis II

Stunning photos taken by the Artemis II crew were released on Tuesday, showing spectacular views from the far side of the moon and an eclipse in space.
One image from NASA showed “Earthset” — the Earth dipping behind the moon. Part of the Earth is seen in darkness, while Australia and Oceania are visible on the planet’s surface. Details of the moon appear in the photo’s foreground.
“Humanity, from the other side,” the White House said about the image.
Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. ET, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the moon. NASA
The image was captured through the window of the Orion spacecraft on Monday evening as the Artemis II crew conducted a flyby of the moon — becoming the first humans to see some parts of the moon’s far side with the naked eye and traveling farther from Earth than any other humans in history.
Another stunning photo showed the moon eclipsing the sun. The eclipse was not visible from Earth, only to the crew aboard the spacecraft, and the astronauts needed to wear eclipse glasses to protect their eyes until the moon completely covered 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,” NASA said about the image.

Astronaut Victor Glover said the sun’s corona remained visible and bright during the eclipse, creating “a halo almost around the entire moon.” He said the photos of the eclipse didn’t do the display justice.
“It just looks unreal. You can see the surface of the moon against the Earthshine. … You can actually see a majority of the moon. It is the strangest looking thing that you can see so much on the surface,” he said on Monday evening.
He told NASA that he was “really glad” the mission launched in time to see the eclipse, which lasted about an hour.
“Because humans probably have not evolved to see what we’re seeing,” he said. “It is truly hard to describe. It is amazing.”
Another photo shared by NASA on Tuesday morning shows the ridged craters and long shadows of the moon as parts of it come into view along the boundary between lunar day and night.
During their flyby on April 6, 2026, the Artemis II crew captured a portion of the moon along the boundary between lunar day and night, where low-angle sunlight casts long, dramatic shadows across the surface, revealing rugged topography, craters and ridges in striking detail. NASA
The Artemis II crew is now making their trip back toward Earth. They are expected to splash down off the California coast, near San Diego, on Friday evening.
