NASA released the first images taken by mission commander Reid Wiseman aboard the Artemis II Orion capsule.
Mission commander Reid Wiseman took the 'spectacular' images, Nasa says, after the crew completed a final engine burn that set them on a trajectory towards the moon.
It's a beautiful sight." The four astronauts on the Artemis II mission are now closer to the moon than they are to Earth, the first time humans have even approached the moon for more than half a century.
