The crew on board Nasa’s Artemis II spacecraft have described seeing the far side of the Moon for the first time.
Nasa astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen have entered the third day of their mission that will carry them around the far side of the Moon and back again.
“Something about you senses that is not the Moon that I’m used to seeing,” Koch said.
As of 23:00 BST on Saturday, Nasa’s online dashboard showed the Artemis II spacecraft was more than 180,000 miles (28,9681km) from Earth.
