Nasa has shared the first high-resolution images of the Earth taken by the Artemis II crew as they pass the halfway point between the Earth and the Moon.
The mission’s commander, Reid Wiseman, took the «spectacular» images, Nasa says, after the crew completed a final engine burn that set them on a trajectory towards our closest celestial neighbour.
