In a single image, Earth\u2019s full disk appears amid celestial phenomena that illustrate its place in the solar system. And although the visible hemisphere appears to be awash in sunlight, it is actually lit by moonlight. The astronauts\u2019 vantage point provided a rare opportunity to capture nighttime features\u2014most notably lights from human habitation\u2014from a new perspective.<\/p>\n<p>An Artemis crew member captured the photo from the Orion spacecraft after it completed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/blogs\/missions\/2026\/04\/02\/artemis-ii-flight-day-2-orion-completes-tli-burn-crew-begins-journey-to-the-moon\/\" rel=\"noopener\">translunar injection burn<\/a>, which sent the spacecraft out of Earth orbit and on a trajectory toward the Moon. In the photo, Earth eclipses the Sun from Orion\u2019s perspective, leaving only a small sliver of its bright light visible around the bottom right edge. Green auroras, caused by charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth\u2019s upper atmosphere, glow around the north and south poles (lower left and upper right, respectively).<\/p>\n<p>The Sun\u2019s light also produces the fuzzy glow, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/earthsky.org\/astronomy-essentials\/everything-you-need-to-know-zodiacal-light-or-false-dawn\/\" rel=\"noopener\">zodiacal light<\/a>, that appears to the lower right of Earth. This phenomenon comes from sunlight reflecting off interplanetary dust. Skywatchers on Earth may see it at certain times of year around dawn or dusk as a faint column of light extending up from the horizon. Data collected by NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/mission\/juno\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Juno<\/a> spacecraft on its journey to Jupiter suggest that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/missions\/serendipitous-juno-spacecraft-detections-shatter-ideas-about-origin-of-zodiacal-light\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Mars may be a significant source<\/a> of the dust particles that produce zodiacal light. Earth\u2019s other planetary neighbor, Venus, appears as the bright object in the bottom right of the image.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\">\n<div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-wide\">\n<div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\">\n<figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/a-moonlit-earth-as-seen-from-artemis-ii\/art002e000192~orig_eolabels.jpg?w=1440&#038;h=960&#038;fit=clip&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.science.nasa.gov\/dynamicimage\/assets\/science\/esd\/eo\/images\/iotd\/2026\/a-moonlit-earth-as-seen-from-artemis-ii\/art002e000192~orig_eolabels.jpg?w=1440&#038;h=960&#038;fit=clip&#038;crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Earth\u2019s full disk is seen through the window of a spacecraft.

Bright areas appear in Spain, Portugal, and northern Africa (lower left), sub-Saharan Africa (center left), and Brazil (center right). Digital camera technology\u2014with help from the illumination of a full Moon\u2014made it possible to see these and other details of Earth\u2019s surface and atmosphere in low light. The crew set the camera\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/photographylife.com\/what-is-iso-in-photography\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO<\/a> to 51,200 to make it highly sensitive to light. For comparison, an ISO setting of 100 or 200 is common for daytime photography.<\/p>\n<p>Previous nighttime views of Earth taken from spacecraft may look very different from this photo but have also inspired and enlightened. For instance, the Apollo 12 crew photographed <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/resource\/eclipse-apollo-12\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Earth eclipsing the Sun<\/a> in 1969; astronaut Alan Bean would go on to depict <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alanbeangallery.com\/most-extraordinary-eclipse-a-early\" rel=\"noopener\">his impressions<\/a> of the event in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alanbeangallery.com\/most-extraordinary-eclipse-a-late\" rel=\"noopener\">paintings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, astronauts aboard the International Space Station have photographed the planet at night from low Earth orbit, while NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthdata.nasa.gov\/data\/projects\/black-marble\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Marble<\/a> nighttime lights product suite uses satellite observations to produce science-quality records of nighttime lights at daily, monthly, and yearly time scales. Those programs provide sustained data records, while the Artemis II photo is distinctive as a single human-captured full-disk view showing many low-light features at once.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ares.jsc.nasa.gov\/people\/bios\/cindy-evans-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Cindy Evans<\/a>, senior exploration scientist in the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Division at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center, was working in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/blogs\/missions\/2025\/06\/13\/nasas-artemis-science-team-inaugurates-flight-control-room\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Science Evaluation Room<\/a> during the Artemis II mission and was one of the first people on Earth to see the image. Evans was struck both by its beauty and the perspective revealed by all the visible solar system features. \u201cI love the image so much because it was taken with Earth in moonshine, and shows Earth as a solar system body, a dynamic planet interacting with the solar wind, and a place harboring life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The image is scientifically valuable, as well, said <a href=\"https:\/\/science.gsfc.nasa.gov\/sci\/bio\/miguel.o.roman\" rel=\"noopener\">Miguel Rom\u00e1n<\/a>, Deputy Director for Atmospheres and Data Systems at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center. \u201cIt speaks powerfully to the breadth of what NASA does across science and human exploration,\u201d he said. Rom\u00e1n studies artificial light at night, as viewed from space, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/earth\/earth-observatory\/picturing-earth-in-a-new-light\/\" rel=\"noopener\">measurable signal<\/a> of human activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[This photo] reminds us that Earth at night is visually compelling, physically complex, and scientifically underexplored,\u201d Rom\u00e1n said. \u201cI see this image as a glimpse of what Earth science can become in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/images.nasa.gov\/details\/art002e000192\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA images<\/a> prepared for Earth Observatory by Lauren Dauphin.
