'Screams of delight': Artemis crew flying home to thrilled NASA scientists

Racing homeward, the Artemis II crew shared mementos from their lunar flyby on Tuesday, including a striking Earthset, Earth slipping below the Moon's jagged horizon, that echoes Apollo 8's famed Earthrise. Released by NASA and the White House, the modern image frames the delicate planet against the Moon's stark curve, divided by blackness. Back in Houston's mission control, the astronauts debriefed lunar scientists after nearly seven hours of observations, drawing praise from Artemis II lunar science lead Kelsey Young, who said their work made a scientific difference and that spirits are very high.
