How a Navy photographer snapped an iconic Artemis II astronaut photo
Astronaut Christina Koch was captured in a moment of quiet contemplation after returning to Earth. This moment was preserved by a Navy photographer on the USS John P. Murtha.
The photographer's recollection of taking the photo is hazy, only remembering the urgency to take pictures as the sun set. It wasn't until later, while processing the images, that the photographer realized the significance of the captured moment. Further details about the photo and the circumstances surrounding it are available from the source, including an account from the photographer himself.
