NASA’s Orion spacecraft has captured a stunning view of the moon. On the third day of the Artemis I mission, Orion maneuvered its solar arrays and captured the moon with a camera mounted on the end of the array. The spacecraft, which took off on its maiden flight aboard the Space Launch System rocket on Wednesday, is expected to reach the moon on Monday. There are three test dummies inside. If all goes well during the three-week mission, the crew capsule will be boosted into a wide orbit around the moon and return to Earth in December splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
