Artemis Crew Snaps Upside-Down Moon Photo

0:00NASA's Artemis II crew snapped a fresh photo of the moon's far side on the fourth day of their trip around it. The image shows the moon flipped upside down, with the South Pole pointing up and a clear view of the massive oriental basin along the right edge. This marks the first time humans have seen that crater in full from space. The four-person team includes Commander Reed Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover and Mission Specialists, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. There aboard the Orion spacecraft set to study the basin from different angles as they get closer and swing by the moon. This mission launched last week from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The first crewed moon flight since Apollo, more than 50 years back. It's a key test run paving the way for future landings. Crew members will keep observing the oriental basin to use it as a reference for craters across the solar system, from Mercury to Pluto. NASA says gathering data like this is the top priority right now. As the flyby continues, these views could unlock new insights into how impacts shape rocky worlds everywhere.
