NASA's Artemis II crew became the first humans in over 50 years to loop around the moon's far side on April 6, traveling farther from Earth than any before them. The astronauts captured unprecedented views, including close-ups of craters and a unique solar eclipse. They are now heading back for a splashdown off California on April 10.
An asteroid designated 2026JH2 will fly past Earth at a distance of 90,917 kilometres on 18 May. The object measures between 16 and 36 metres across and carries enough mass to damage a city if it struck, though experts confirm no impact risk for at least a century.

Four astronauts aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft Integrity conducted a close flyby of the Moon's far side on April 6, marking humanity's first in-person look in over 50 years. The crew came within 4,000 miles of the surface, streaming low-resolution video due to communication constraints. High-resolution footage will follow after the mission.

Astronauts aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II mission observed as many as six flashes on the far side of the moon. The flashes came from small meteorites impacting the lunar surface. The impacts produced brief bursts of light visible from thousands of kilometers away.
