2022年12月5日,无人驾驶的猎户座飞船在猎户座飞船返回月球时,用相机拍下了这张照片。在猎户座的一个延伸的太阳能阵列之外,是黑暗、光滑的地形,沿着正星海的西部边缘。在月球近侧突出的是风暴海,它是月球熔岩泛滥的海中最大的一个。月相明暗线,月夜和月日之间的阴影线,沿着这幅画面的左侧。直径41公里的马里乌斯陨石坑位于顶部中心,开普勒射线陨石坑位于太阳阵列翼的右侧边缘。开普勒的明亮光线向北和向西延伸,到达地面黑暗的马略。到2022年12月11日,猎户座飞船已经到达了它的母星。历史性的阿尔忒弥斯1号任务以猎户座成功溅落在地球上被水淹没的太平洋而告终。

On December 5, 2022, a camera on board the uncrewed Orion spacecraft captured this view as Orion approached its return powered flyby of the Moon. Beyond one of Orion's extended solar arrays lies dark, smooth, terrain along the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum. Prominent on the lunar nearside Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, is the largest of the Moon's lava-flooded maria. The lunar terminator, shadow line between lunar night and day, runs along the left of this frame. The 41 kilometer diameter crater Marius is top center, with ray crater Kepler peeking in at the edge, just right of the solar array wing. Kepler's bright rays extend to the north and west, reaching the dark-floored Marius. By December 11, 2022 the Orion spacecraft had reached its home world. The historic Artemis 1 mission ended with Orion's successful splashdown in planet Earth's water-flooded Pacific Ocean.
