Abstract

NewsPLANETARY SCIENCE ● "We just went sci-fi," astronaut Victor Glover said as he and his crewmates observed a total solar eclipse from space. Glover piloted NASA's Artemis II mission, which swung around the farside of the moon on April 6. For almost an hour, the moon blocked the sun from the spacecraft's point of view (shown in the photo above). The astronauts saw lunar features illuminated by light reflected off Earth, a glow that might be the solar corona, and planets including Saturn and Mars (bright dots bottom right of the moon).PHOTO (BLACK & WHITE) [Extracted from the article]
