A simulated image of the crew’s view of the dark, eclipsed Moon on April 6, 2026. Three crew members annotated impact flashes on this image in OneNote. Reid Wiseman wrote in blue. Victor “Ike” Glover wrote in green. Jeremy Hansen wrote in red. General annotations are in purple ink. A note on the left side in purple is “circled likely same impacts.” Five impact flashes are numbered across the Moon. #1 with a blue dot (observed by Wiseman) is located at the 4 o’clock position, but more central. #2 is circled with a red dot (observed by Hansen) and a blue dot (observed by Wiseman) is located at the 8’clock position, but near the Moon’s center. #3 with a red dot (observed by Hansen) is located at 3 o’clock. #4 is circled with a red dot (observed by Hansen), a blue dot (observed by Wiseman), and a green dot (observed by Glover). It is at the 6 o’clock position. A note of “(later)” is under #4. #5 with a blue dot (observed by Wiseman) is located at the 12 o’clock position. A note of “towards end” is to the right of #5. Wiseman wrote an additional note in blue: “these three roughly 10 min into eclipse.” The three indicated are the blue dots at #1, #2, and #4.
