NASA has shared photos and footage of the Moon, including its far side, with some images captured by the Artemis II crew aboard the Orion spacecraft and others by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter between 2009 and 2011. The Artemis II crew reportedly witnessed a solar eclipse from a unique vantage point near the Moon, with some outlets suggesting they experienced a period of radio blackout while flying around the Moon's far side. The exact timing and details of the images and the mission are unclear, with various outlets providing different information.
