Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn.

The Artemis II astronauts were more than two-thirds of the way to the Moon when this was taken. ## [THE DARK SIDE OF THE EARTH FROM ARTEMIS 2](https://www.wanderingspace.info/blog/2026/4/6/the-dark-side-of-the-earth-from-artemis-2) _2026-04-06 · Thomas Romer · Wanderingspace_ A view of a backlit Earth taken by Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman from one of the Orion spacecraft's windows after completing the translunar injection burn on April 2, 2026.

Cassini was about 37,400 km from Prometheus when the images were acquired. Part of the F ring is visible in the background at the top.” — Jason Major ## [Saturn Vortex](https://www.wanderingspace.info/blog/2024/12/1/saturn-vortex) _2024-12-01 · Thomas Romer · Wanderingspace_ “This is a view of a ~2,000-km-wide vortex of swirling clouds above Saturn's north pole, imaged in polarized light with Cassini's narrow-angle camera on November 27, 2012. I've processed the original monochrome image to approximate the color of the area at the time.” — Jason Major ## [Uranus is not as boring as we thought](https://www.wanderingspace.info/blog/2024/11/22/uranus-is-not-as-boring-as-we-thought) _2024-11-22 · Thomas Romer · Wanderingspace_ “An animation of three near-infrared images of Uranus captured by the JWST Space Telescope with assigned representative colors. During processing, I aligned the rings separately to reduce the bubbling effect caused by different inclinations, making the planet appear to rotate on an almost flat plane.” —Andrea Luck ## [Mars Express is Still Making Great Images 20 Years Later](https://www.wanderingspace.info/blog/2024/9/4/mars-express-is-still-making-great-images-20-years-later) _2024-09-04 · Thomas Romer · Wanderingspace_ Mars Express was launched by the European Space Agency in 2003, and is ESA’s first Mars mission. In one shot, you can see Mars as a half-lit disk, with Phobos, its tiny moon, hovering above. Right below Phobos is Olympus Mons, the solar system's largest volcano, towering 22 km high and 600 km across—or as the Bad Astronomer says, “about the size of Colorado”.
