Artemis II Astronauts Share Experiences of Solar Eclipse from Space
The Artemis II astronauts recently shared their experiences of witnessing a solar eclipse from space during their mission around the moon. The event occurred on April 6, when the sun was obscured by the moon for 53 minutes, a phenomenon visible only from space. NASA's Reid Wiseman, the mission commander, initially focused on his scientific duties but was soon captivated by the sight, as were his fellow astronauts. The crew, including NASA pilot Victor Glover and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen, described the eclipse as a breathtaking experience, with the moon appearing like a ghost ship against the solar corona. The astronauts shared these insights during a public appearance in Ottawa, Canada, where they discussed the mission's impact and their collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency.
