NASA shared on its Instagram profile a visual depiction showing exactly what the Artemis II astronauts will see through their window during the flyby around the Moon.

The Artemis II crew and the lunar science team have been training and preparing for years to make the most of every orbit around the Moon, regardless of lighting conditions.

Now that the crew is on their way to the Moon, we finally know which parts of the lunar surface will be illuminated during their closest approach, while dozens of scientists work diligently behind the scenes in mission control in Houston.

The Artemis II crew is resting ahead of the historic moment

According to NASA, the astronauts are currently sleeping.

“Sweet dreams, Artemis II crew. Another look at the Moon on day six of your flight and your epic flyby around it, which will take you farther into space than humans have ever traveled,” NASA wrote.

The science team has spent the past few days combining the spacecraft’s trajectory with data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, information on the movement of the Solar System, and other sources to create tools that help people visualize the full picture.

This visual follows the trajectory of the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II mission’s flyby around the Moon and shows what the astronauts will see out the window as they approach the Moon and fly around its distant, far side.

The flight will last from 20:45 to 03:40 Central European Time on April 6, 2026, marking the period during which the crew will be close enough to the Moon to conduct scientific observations, with the Orion spacecraft’s windows oriented toward the lunar surface.

The angle at which sunlight illuminates the Moon will change during this period due to the constant movement of the Sun, Moon, and spacecraft—revealing both familiar areas of the near side of the Moon and portions of its far side that are never visible from Earth.
