Astronaut Christina Koch Experiences Earthshine | NASA Artemis II Moon Mission

Astronaut Christina Koch Experiences Earthshine | NASA Artemis II Moon Mission

NASA astronaut and Artemis II mission specialist Christina Koch took this video of her experiencing Earthshine when viewing our home planet outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth at the time.

Artemis II mission specialist and NASA astronaut Christina Koch joined NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen on a nearly 10-day lunar flyby mission, surpassing the Apollo 13 record for farthest crewed spaceflight and observing the lunar surface like never before, capturing iconic views.
