On April 6, 2024, the four-member crew aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft will witness a 57-minute total solar eclipse while flying around the Moon during the Artemis II mission. This unique eclipse will not be visible from Earth, as it occurs from a vantage point behind the Moon, where the lunar body obscures the Sun. The astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—will also set a historic record by becoming the farthest humans from Earth, surpassing the Apollo 13 mission's distance record from 1970. As Orion enters the Moon's sphere of influence, it will briefly lose communication with mission control for about 40 minutes, reminiscent of earlier Apollo missions. The total solar eclipse will be part of a series of observations made during the lunar flyby, with live coverage available on NASA's official streaming platform starting at 1 p.m. EDT. Following the eclipse, Artemis II will return to Earth, concluding a mission that lays the groundwork for future lunar landings.
