  • Fly-by complete! NASA's Orion spacecraft passes within just 80 MILES of the moon and snaps a stunning photo as it swings by.

    The Earth looks super small from its distance from the moon. I'm surprised that the moon looks as visible as it does from the sky at night. The sun is far away from the earth. I'm surprised that we can feel the heat from the sun.
    As part of the Artemis I mission, the Orion module was required to circle the moon in order to help it place itself into its orbit later this week. Just before it did so, it took a photo of our natural satellite.

    It's hard to capture the moon on the phone. So that's a clear shot with NASA technology. We got a long way to go
