“The crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission captured extraordinary images of our home planet during their journey around the far side of the Moon.”

While Wikipedia confirms Artemis II was a crewed flyby of the Moon and the Artemis program aims for lunar missions, the specific claim that the crew *captured* images of Earth while *orbiting the far side* is not directly corroborated by multiple independent sources. The web search results are general or unrelated to the specific capture event described.
