NASA's Artemis II crew just saw a 57-minute total solar eclipse from the far side of the moon. NASA's next eclipse comes in 2045 during the "Greatest American Eclipse."

Over seven hours, the astronauts took thousands of photos that will help inform scientists’ understanding of the moon. The first ones have now been released.

Artemis 2 astronauts witness a rare solar eclipse from beyond the moon during their historic lunar flyby.

On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse will bring six minutes and 23 seconds of midday darkness, the century’s longest over land. Astronomers describe the total solar eclipse 2027 as unusually long because the Sun will be farthest from Earth and the Moon near perigee.

It takes just a skim of Eclipse’s recent investments to see where this venture firm’s interests lie — and where it is headed. With $1.3 billion in fresh capital — which is split between a $591 million early-stage incubation fund and one more oriented toward growth startups — Eclipse is zeroing in on what partner Jiten Behl describes as the next big technological era.

After the lunar observation period concluded, the Artemis II crew was congratulated by President Donald Trump, in a live conversation that aired as part of NASA’s continuing live coverage of the mission. They also spoke with NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and answered questions from social media.

The NASA moon mission completed several key milestones as its crew looped around the lunar body. It's expected to splash down on Earth on Friday.

A once-in-a-century total solar eclipse will sweep across 10 countries in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East on Aug. 2, 2027. Here are the best places to go.
