ALT Against a starry backdrop, a metallic spacecraft observes a mottled yellow and orange star with a planet silhouetted in front of it. The planet has a bluish rim, indicating an atmosphere. Extending from the spacecraft toward the lower left is a rectangle containing panels of blue and purple that represents Pandora's solar array.

ALT Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew\u2019s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth\u2019s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.\nIn the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater\u2019s formation. Credit: NASA
ALT Two people in white protective garments, hairnets, and face coverings stand behind Pandora\u2019s CODA telescope housing to install its visible detector assembly (VISDA). The CODA telescope is a large golden metal cylinder with four bars extending toward the right, connected by a circular bracket to form a conical shape. To the left, where technicians are working, are a series of angular gold panels with two cylindrical arms connecting each one to the telescope housing. One of the technicians uses a small screwdriver to attach the VISDA to the housing. This image is watermarked with \u201CCredit: Corning Specialty Materials.\u201D
ALT A person wearing a white protective garment holds Pandora\u2019s near-infrared detector with gloved hands in a clean room at Corning Specialty Materials in Keene, NH. The detector sits on a silver-colored plate and is about the size and shape of a small personal camera. The back of the detector is a golden box with a golden cylinder extending forward from it. A silver and black rectangular assembly extends from the front. Attached to the top of the detector is a small brass-colored rectangle with a cluster of brass-colored wires connected to another brass rectangle dangling backwards toward the person holding the detector. In the background, a large gold-colored metal housing for the detector sits on a silver metal shelf. This image is watermarked with \u201CCredit: Corning Specialty Materials.\u201D
