ALT A mostly-full Moon appears deep yellow in contrast with the blue night sky around it. A dark flock of birds flies just below it. The tops of buildings and trees peek out from the bottom of the photo.
ALT A black, cone-shaped spacecraft reentry capsule sits upright, with its pointed end stuck slightly into the wet sand of a desert plain dotted with low green shrubs. Pale mountains rise in the distance beneath a clear blue sky. The capsule appears intact after landing, standing out against the light-colored, sandy terrain.

ALT Colorful landscape with the Moon, in a blue sky, peeking over a rugged, steep-sided, partially snow-covered mountain. Yellow-orange foliage fills the middle foreground. Closest to the camera, branches bursting with pink flowers and dark red leaves extend from the right edge of the frame. \uD83D\uDCF8 NASA/Bill Dunford
ALT Reid Wiseman looking out a window in the Orion spacecraft. The interior of the spacecraft is mostly dark. Wiseman\u2019s face is brightly lit by a combination of light from outside the window and the glow of a screen in front of him. His face is upturned to look out the window above him. Credit: NASA
ALT Christina Koch in the Orion spacecraft. She is smiling at the camera and wears glasses and a headlamp. The interior of the spacecraft is mostly dark except for the bright screen of a tablet on the right and some areas that glow blue and green. Credit: NASA
ALT Victor Glover in the Orion spacecraft. His head is tilted back to look out a window above him, obscuring his face from the camera. The interior of the spacecraft is dark. Glover is mostly cast in shadow, except for his side profile. Credit: NASA
ALT Jeremy Hansen takes a photograph out the window of the Orion spacecraft window. Hansen has the viewfinder of the camera pressed against his face and his left hand is adjusting the lens. Around him, the interior of the spacecraft is dark except for a brightly glowing screen in front of him and some areas of red glow. Credit: NASA
