First Photos From the Artemis II Mission Show Earth in Ways Humans Haven’t Seen Since the Apollo Era

The windows on the Orion spacecraft are already dirty. The four astronauts aboard Artemis II spend so much time pressing their faces against the glass to stare back at their home planet that mission commander Reid Wiseman actually radioed Houston to ask for window-cleaning procedures.

Earth's magnetic field creates a previously undetected pocket of protection from radiation on the moon

High-energy particles called galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) bombard unprotected objects in space, often causing damage. Earth, however, is protected by its magnetic field, which creates a protective shell around the planet that can deflect dangerous charged particles,
