Artemis II astronauts return home

The crew is now undergoing a period of physical adaptation as they transition back to Earth's gravity.

Initial data confirms that the Orion spacecraft's heat shield performed exceptionally well during re-entry, a critical finding for future moon landings.

NASA has released stunning new images of the 'terminator' line between night and day on Earth, captured by the astronauts during their journey.

The mission's success has bolstered confidence in the agency's plans for Artemis III, which aims to land the first woman and person of color on the lunar surface.
