Our moon and planet can be seen in live footage.
NASA is streaming incredible video views from Artemis 1 right now, thanks to the Orion spaceship, which is nearing 270,000 miles from Earth. The moon is retrograde, meaning it is far from the Earth.
You can see live views of the moon mission from IBM through the new tab.
The views are not only about space. Future Artemis programs will be informed by the videos and photos from the mission. NASA wants to make sure the spacecraft is ready to fly humans for future moon missions, with the two next in line expected to be Artemis 2 looping around the moon in 2024 or so.
There are amazing views of the Artemis 1 moon rocket debut.
Many Apollo program missions have broadcasted from that region in the 1960s and 1970s, but the new footage is the highest-definition live view from beyond the moon.
The Apollo 8 Christmas Eve broadcast featured black-and-white footage of the moon as NASA astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders became the first humans to circle the lunar surface.
The views of the Earth were not broadcasted live. The image of a pale blue dot was taken by NASA's Voyager 1 probe in 1990. The picture was taken above the plane of the solar system and Neptune.
If everything goes to plan, the splashdown off the coast of California will take place on December 11.
