@NASA_Orion captured this shot of Earth “setting” while the spacecraft passed close to the Moon. Nearly 270,000 miles (430,000 km) away, #Artemis I will soon surpass Apollo 13’s record-setting distance from Earth in a spacecraft designed to carry astronauts.
ALT The Orion spacecraft captures an image of Earth setting behind the Moon. The metallic grey and white structure of the spacecraft dominates the left side of the image. To the far right, the dusty grey surface of the Moon looms large beside the small blue and white Earth in the far distance. The background of the image is the dark blackness of space. No stars are visible as the high contrast of the Moon and Orion spacecraft wash out the distant stars. Credit: NASA

#OnThisDay in 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving American women the right to vote. However, 2.2 million Black women lived in the South, where Jim Crow laws often barred them from voting and caused disenfranchisement throughout the nation.

Ready for the next giant leap? Hear where the next steps on the Moon may fall.
Tune in live for the announcement of potential landing regions for the #Artemis III mission to the lunar South Pole. Friday, Aug. 19, at 2pm ET (1800 UTC): go.nasa.gov/3puuwnW
ALT View of the lunar South Pole. In the center of the image, the Moon's slate grey surface is visible. Dotted with craters the visual is one that is uncommon and from a unique angle. The background of the image is a dark black of space. Radial guidelines permeate from the center of the Moon showing directional degrees from the South Pole. The bottom left of the image states "Clementine Mission. Uncontrolled Image Mosaic. Lunar South Polar Region. Orthographic Projection."
