Artemis II: "There was a little bit of giddiness. We have seen 3 impact flashes so far...Definitely impact flashes on the moon...On the earth side of the moon."

Right now, the Orion capsule is passing behind the Moon, so the Sun is entirely eclipsed from their perspective. During this time, they will view a mostly darkened Moon and will use the opportunity to analyze the solar corona.
A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.
This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.
12:11pm ET - Artemis II is 246,000 miles from Earth and about 16,000 miles from the moon.
