""It's just indescribable. No matter how long we look at this, our brains are not processing this image in front of us," Commander Reid Wiseman told NASA mission control during the eclipse on Monday. "It is absolutely spectacular, surreal... there's no adjectives, I'm going to need to invent some new ones, there's absolutely no words to describe what we are looking at out this window.""
"The four-member crew witnessed the eclipse while beyond the Moon, creating a vastly different visual experience from what we would typically see on Earth, as noted by CNN and Scientific American."
The Artemis II crew captured stunning visuals of a total solar eclipse from deep space, showcasing the Moon's uneven edges and bright stars. They observed the Earth partially in shadow, reminiscent of the Apollo 8 'earthrise' image. The crew experienced a longer eclipse totality of nearly one hour, allowing them to see the Sun's corona without atmospheric interference. Commander Reid Wiseman described the experience as indescribable and surreal, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of the visuals they encountered.
