Artemis 2 Crew Set to Witness Unforgettable Earthrise Tonight

2026-04-06T11:00:06.000Z The Artemis 2 astronauts will get a rare skywatching treat on Monday (April 6). The quartet will see a total solar eclipse that evening as they slingshot around the moon's far side, in a flyby that breaks humanity's all-time distance record. And that eclipse will be something that none of us stuck on terra firma have ever seen. (And, to be clear, groundbound viewers won't see this one; it will be visible only to the Artemis 2 crew.)
