Astronauts honor Reid Wiseman's late wife by naming a lunar crater "Carroll" during historic Artemis II mission.
Artemis astronauts at the outer edge of human space travel had an emotional moment Monday (April 6, 2026) as they named a crater in honour of the deceased wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman.
"It's a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll," Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen told a live broadcast.
The crater can be seen "at certain times of the Moon's transit around Earth," he said.
As Mr. Wiseman and others wiped away tears, the four astronauts pulled together in a silent, floating embrace.
