The image of the moon with the Earth in the background was captured by NASA's lunar capsule.
In the stunning footage captured by one of the Artemis I mission's many cameras, an Earthrise can be seen in the distance as the pair made their way to the moon.
The incredible shots captured by some of Artemis' 24 cameras look like something out of a sci-fi novel rather than real-life footage from a trip into space.
The footage from the longest engine burn in history, which lasted 207 seconds, was captured by the capsule as it hovered about 80 miles above the Moon.
The report states that the feat was impressive. The OMS engine can be used for as long as 16 minutes.
The capsule, which should be crewed with astronauts by 2024, is scheduled to land in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California on December 11, Space.com reports.
The report says that the mission is performing up to NASA's expectations, a relief given the lengthy and expensive issues the mission had prior to its successful launch.
