NASA is releasing a steady stream of stunning pictures of the Moon and Earth taken by the astronauts on its Artemis II Moon mission.
Attracting millions of likes on social media, the images show the two bodies from unusual angles in glorious high definition. The photographs provide unprecedented views of both celestial bodies from distances never before captured by human eyes.
There is no denying the drama: four astronauts are embarking on a mission that will take them further from Earth than any human has ventured since 1972. The images they capture are helping to inspire a new generation of space explorers.
But is there unique scientific value in these images, or are these simply the equivalent of holiday photos? NASA scientists say both. The images have scientific value for studying lunar surface features and Earth’s atmosphere, while also serving as powerful tools for public engagement.
NASA wants the American public behind them to support the mission. They are live-streaming the 10-day journey, and the four astronauts are doing regular video updates, describing their progress in triumphant tones. The public response has been overwhelmingly positive.
The crew have been so excited to watch the world and Moon go by, NASA has said, that the window inside the Orion spacecraft got dirty and the astronauts were sent instructions on how to clean it. This demonstrates the human side of space exploration.
This is the first time that digital cameras have been taken this far into space, and the images are providing unprecedented views of both Earth and the Moon. These photographs will be studied by scientists and cherished by the public for years to come.
