Following the successful splashdown of the Artemis II mission in the Pacific Ocean, NASA has continued to share audiovisual content from space. Among the recent live transmissions from its satellites, the Canary Islands have been clearly visible.

In the captured images, Tenerife appears surrounded by clouds, with Mount Teide emerging from its center. Similarly, Gran Canaria is also shown enveloped in cloud formations. In contrast, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are visible with greater clarity, as is a portion of the Sahara Desert.

A video of these images has gone viral on social media, though not primarily due to the archipelago's appearance. Attention has focused on a frame where an unidentified object passes at high speed in front of one of the cameras, casting a shadow over Lanzarote. This event has triggered various theories and interpretations among users, ranging from those who question the authenticity of space travel to those who mock such conspiracy theories.
