Happy New Year 🌔 At the stroke of midnight, we begin a new year—the year we will fly around the Moon with humans. In as early as February, the Artemis II crew will travel approximately 685,000 miles (~1.1 million km) from Earth, venture around the Moon, and return home.

The textured surface of the Moon stands out against the blackness of space surrounding it. Credit: NASA/Shawn Quinn #Moon #Artemis #LunarMission #LunarPhotography #MoonPhotography
