#JunoCam: It is with heavy hearts that we share that PSI's Candy Hansen-Koharcheck passed earlier this week. Candy was responsible for the development & operation of JunoCam, the citizen science camera that allows us all to process, share, and enjoy these stunning images of Jupiter and its moons.

Orion was about 19,201 km from the Moon and 400,488 km from Earth at the time of this capture, with a one-way radio delay of 1.34 seconds. The visible hemisphere appears to be dominated by near-side maria. Screenshot from NASA live coverage

From inside Orion, the stars seem to glide past the porthole, while a very subtle midnight blue envelops the scene. Orion is currently traveling at a speed of approximately 2,903.25 km/h. Image cropped Credit: NASA

Right now, Orion is about one second away by radio from Earth and about 135,979 km from the Moon. Image credit: NASA

Earth seen through one of Orion’s portholes (Artemis II). This cropped image highlights the depth of the window, its reflections, and the details of the cabin, making our planet appear to float beyond the spacecraft. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman Post-processing: Thomas Thomopoulos

The processing enhances the depth of the window recess, the structural frame, seals and surrounding cabin details, giving Earth an almost suspended appearance beyond the spacecraft. Credit: NASA / Reid Wiseman Post-processing: Thomas Thomopoulos
