NASA has now released 12,217 images from the flight. A lot of wade through but a few zingers in here:

The first link doesn’t work for me. Those other images are spectacular.
Great pics, thanks for posting! The first one of the solar eclipse is exceptionally beautiful and also interesting. The camera must have been at a wide aperture for greater sensitivity because many stars are visible. I believe they were relatively close to the moon when this was taken, so the immense size of the sun’s corona is evident. It extends 10-20 solar radii (around 7-14 million km) from the photosphere. Also interesting is that a small edge of the left side of the moon is faintly illuminated, presumably by the bright corona.
If you zoom into the full-size image, small white dots (and at least one red dot) are visible on the dark surface of the moon. The red dot is at about the 10 o’clock position close to the illuminated portion. I initially thought they might be camera sensor defects, but they’re not all the same brightness. It’s hard to tell if there are any in the rest of the picture because of the star images but I think I spotted a few. Any guesses what those bright dots are?
I’m no astro-guy who-knows-this science, nor do I pretend to be. But those are amazing images. Thank you for sharing!
Looks like they updated it, and a good thing too as this page has thumbnails…

That’s caused by Earth shine.
I’m getting " Error: missing query parameters file" again. This tells me your link goes to your temporary search results. It probably depends on a cookie on your computer. It isn’t something you can share.
Try the link in this article: NASA just released 12,000 more Artemis II photos — here are a dozen of our favorites | Live Science
It’s the same as the one I just updated but perhaps it’ll work if you click through from that.
The pics are great, but the interface for the gallery looks like it’s been designed 30 years ago, and the site is ultra-slow. Not a good look on NASA.
And here’s a nice video of reentry from inside the capsule posted yesterday by the Canadian Space Agency. Seeing gravity assert itself on Rise, the soft toy, is really cool.
An interesting video about the Artemis II images. Whodathunk you could see Earth-orbiting satellites that way?: https://youtu.be/OdO_g1S_MBU
