NASA's Artemis II crew is officially halfway to the moon, marking a big moment in their journey.
The spacecraft is gearing up for a close lunar flyby, where astronauts will carry out a lunar flyby and circle the lunar surface, collecting new scientific data, moving us closer to humans exploring deeper into space.
Orion photos emphasize NASA's exploration goals
The Orion crew snapped some incredible photos of earth after leaving orbit, including one striking shot of our planet glowing through the window (thanks to Commander Reid Wiseman).
Beyond just cool pics, this mission is a significant step in NASA's broader effort to advance human exploration beyond Earth orbit, and helps NASA prep for even bigger adventures beyond earth.
