The Artemis II astronauts are zooming closer to the moon, and their view along the way is something to behold.
NASA released the first images of Earth taken by the crew. In one, our blue planet peeks through one of the capsule windows, and in another, the globe appears in all its glory.
Thursday night, mission commander Reid Wiseman said the sight stopped the four-member crew in their tracks. They are expected to fly by the moon by Monday.
Back on Earth, NASA officials said the mission is going well and called it an important steppingstone for future moon flights.
