Space Photos of the Week Gallery

Artemis II remains on course for its lunar flyby as the crew shares historic photos of Earth, tests key systems for future lunar missions, and attempts to fix the toilet.

The astronauts will arrive about 10,300 kilometers beyond our satellite, breaking all previous records for distance from Earth. But how was their route chosen?

Bremont’s Supernova Chronograph will be attached to the chassis of Astrolab’s FLIP rover, which will land on the moon later this year.

Weirdly, spaceships have no direct way to gauge their own speed. Luckily, we can use some physics tricks to figure it out.

The White House has announced that NASA will work with the Departments of Defense and Energy to put nuclear reactors in orbit and on the surface of the moon.

Splashdown for the Artemis II crew is scheduled for Friday evening, and NASA will livestream the historic homecoming.

Entire space programs have been canceled after a failure in the reentry phase. In the final test for Artemis II, astronauts will travel at 32 times the speed of sound as they return from the moon.

The mission commander’s email inbox failed during the journey to the moon. Have they tried turning the computer off and back on again?

After traveling a greater distance from Earth than any humans before them, the astronauts of Artemis II have safely returned home.

The moon gets hit by space debris all the time, but some of it is so large that the impact generates light that can be seen thousands of kilometers away.

The moon is not just a barren rock orbiting the Earth. The Artemis missions could answer the great unknowns that the satellite holds.
