On the Cover: This Science Editor cover features Earth as seen by the Artemis II crew on their recent voyage around the moon. Taken on April 2, 2026, by “an Artemis II crew member aiming a camera through a window of the Orion spacecraft. The image was captured after Orion completed its translunar injection burn, the critical maneuver that sent the spacecraft on its path toward the Moon and back.” The Artemis II mission was the first crewed flight to leave low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972 and marked the furthest a human has ever been from Earth.
