The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon. The Apollo 8 mission was the first crewed spacecraft to circumnavigate the Moon.

The clearest image of Venus ever taken !

Today Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer is a third of the way to the Jovian system. He is currently using his high gain antenna as a sun shield. Telemetry is promising and he is full of vigor.

Today Pioneer 9 is silent. They carry on in a heliocentric orbit at 0.8 AU, and are likely still in the same, stable, spinning orientation they have been in for 58 years.

Today Pioneer 10 is dead. She is some 21 billion kilometers out, under a tenth of the way to the Oort cloud. She is no longer aligned with Earth, and the Sun looks to her like any other star in the sky.
