Artemis II crew vanished behind the Moon after describing alien terrain of 'squiggles'

The Artemis II mission has surpassed a 55-year-old distance record while losing communication contact behind the lunar far side. Astronauts aboard the spacecraft transmitted fascinating descriptions of the Moon's remote surface, noting distinctive geological formations they characterize as 'squiggles' alongside numerous impact craters. This communications blackout represents a critical phase of the mission as the crew explores previously difficult-to-observe lunar terrain, providing valuable insights into the Moon's unexplored regions.
