Four astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II spacecraft made history Monday as they ventured farther from Earth than any human crew in decades, completing a dramatic lunar flyby that signals the space agency’s return to moon exploration. The crew of three American astronauts and one Canadian team member experienced a total solar eclipse during their journey and became the first people to witness the moon’s mysterious far side with the naked eye before beginning their journey back to Earth.
The mission has produced a collection of breathtaking photographs showcasing spectacular views of both the moon and Earth from deep space, offering the public a rare glimpse of what the astronauts observed during this historic voyage.
