This is my favourite photo of those released by NASA from the Artemis II Lunar Flyby. There are also a lot more, including of the crew and ground control on the NASA Johnson Flickr account.

The first flyby images of the Moon captured by NASA’s Artemis II astronauts during their historic test flight reveal regions no human has ever seen before—including a rare in-space solar eclipse. Released Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the photos were taken on April 6 during the crew’s seven‑hour pass over the lunar far side, marking humanity’s return to the Moon’s vicinity.
