About this work

art002e015967 (April 6, 2026) - The Sun is eclipsed by the Moon in this April 6, 2026, image from NASA’s Orion. The glow around the Moon is called zodiacal light, which describes interstellar dust that’s reflecting sunlight. Unlike minutes-long eclipses as viewed from Earth, the Artemis II crew saw the Sun hide behind the Moon for nearly an hour.
