Artemis II captures stunning Earth views

The four astronauts of the Artemis II mission are nearly halfway to the Moon, marking the first time humans have left lower Earth orbit in over 50 years.

Commander Reid Wiseman shared spectacular views of the blue planet through the capsule's windows, which NASA officials described as 'amazing' learning tools.

The crew is currently troubleshooting minor technical issues, including a faulty toilet and software glitches, as they maintain a figure-eight trajectory.

This mission serves as a critical precursor to a planned lunar landing in 2028.
