€NASA released the very first images taken by astronauts aboard the Artemis II Orion capsule as they are making their way to the moon.
The stunning pictures were taken by mission commander Reid Wiseman using his Personal Computing Device — a tablet that includes a camera — and they are both views of Earth.
The first one was described by NASA mission control at Johnson Space Center in Houston as a “reminder that no matter how far we go, we are still one world, watching, hoping and reaching higher.”
