NASA has shared a variety of photos showing Earth and the astronauts.

The Artemis II mission is scheduled to loop around the moon for the first time since the Apollo era. It is a crucial first chapter for an ambitious and risky program to eventually return people to the lunar surface,

NASA released the very first images taken by the four astronauts aboard the Orion capsule as they are making their way to the moon.

NASA’s Artemis II successfully launched on April 1, with its crew on a 10-day mission to circle the Moon. It’s the first crewed Artemis flight and a major step toward humanity returning to our little neighbor in the future.

The four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft are heading to the Moon after completing the critical engine burn that propels the capsule on its journey.

NASA approved a six-minute engine burn to send Artemis II out of Earth’s orbit. The pivotal move put the astronauts on a path humans haven’t traveled in half a century.

The Artemis II astronauts launched but are still in Earth orbit. They will soon begin their journey toward the moon.

The Artemis II mission is now out of Earth's orbit and on its way to the moon, traveling at 4,700 mph. Kris Van Cleave reports.
