The crew for Nasa’s Artemis II mission are now over halfway on their journey to the Moon.
Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen have entered the third day of their mission on the Orion spacecraft, and have now caught their first glimpse of the far side of the Moon.
The crew shared a photo they took of the Orientale basin of the Moon, which Nasa said marked "the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes".
As of 23:00 BST on Saturday, Nasa’s online dashboard showed the Artemis II spacecraft was more than 180,000 miles (289,681km) from Earth.
