NASA’s Artemis II mission captured this view on April 6, 2026 as the Moon completely blocked the Sun.
Orion can be seen in the foreground.

Saturn appears just below the Moon, while Mars is visible farther to the right. Earthlight can even be seen faintly illuminating part of the lunar disk.
A solar eclipse, the Moon, Mars and Saturn, photographed by humans traveling through deep space.
