This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.
Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

What is this bright thing at the center? Reflection of an interior light as it was taken through a window? Or what?
Looks like window reflection.
You can also see the window frame at the bottom left.
Just Starfleet violating directives again. It’s probably best to ignore it; somebody else’s problem.
Since the photo is received from the astronauts, it must be a reflection from their warm interior, indeed!
That’s my guess. It’s too large to be anything external.
