During Artemis 1 a video recording from a Point Grey solar wing camera of the spacecraft with the Moon and maybe Saturn (or Capella?) in the background suddenly shows dramatically different light conditions with the spacecraft completely disappearing. That happens at 3:42 into the video: https://flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/52532638530/in/faves-38986204@N04/



What happened here? Was a camera light switched off? The GoPros on the solar wings have lights, which may have been used here, but I don't know. The video appears to have been recorded by the Point Grey camera as the aspect ratio is different than the other definitely GoPro videos on the flickr album.

I'm also not sure about whether this is really Saturn as I could not reproduce this view on https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-system/#/sc_artemis_1?time=2022-11-19T08:00:01.000+00:00&rate=0

Looks to me like they are just reducing the exposure time to get the moon better exposed.
