NASA’s Orion spacecraft reached the farthest outbound point in its journey from Earth on Monday, a distance of more than 430,000 km from humanity’s home world. This is nearly double the distance between Earth and the Moon and is farther than the Apollo capsule traveled during NASA’s lunar missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s.<\/p>\n

From this vantage point, on Monday, a camera attached to the solar panels on board Orion’s service module snapped photos<\/a> of the Moon and, just beyond, the Earth. These were lovely, lonely, and evocative images.<\/p>\n

“The imagery was crazy,” said the Artemis I mission’s lead flight director, Rick LaBrode. “It\u2019s really hard to articulate what the feeling is. It\u2019s really amazing to be here, and see that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
