WASHINGTON — The crew of the Artemis II mission made history yet again on Monday, when the four astronauts aboard the Orion looped around the moon at the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by humans and witnessed a total solar eclipse.

Nasa has released the first photographs taken by the Artemis II astronauts during their fly-by of the Moon. The first image, above, shows an 'Earthset' as the astronauts glimpsed our home planet peeking out beyond a cratered lunar landscape.

Star Wars Eclipse sounded like a promising science-fiction adventure story when it was first revealed, but now its future is anything but certain.

Why do some places wait 1,000 years to see a total solar eclipse while others get two in a decade? The surprising orbital mechanics behind where eclipses happen — and don't.

Eclipse will put some of that money towards incubating, or building startups.

NASA's Artemis II crew just saw a 57-minute total solar eclipse from the far side of the moon. NASA's next eclipse comes in 2045 during the "Greatest American Eclipse."
