The crew of the Artemis II mission made the first lunar flyby in 50 years.

During the mission's loop around the moon, the crew took geological observations of places of interest on the lunar surface using their own eyes and snapping thousands of photos of the surface.

The NASA moon mission completed several key milestones as its crew looped around the lunar body. It's expected to splash down on Earth on Friday.

The astronauts on Artemis II will observe parts of the moon rarely seen by human eyes. A NASA planetary scientist said it will offer a vital perspective for lunar research.

Monday is an important day on NASA's Artemis II mission. The crew is preparing for its lunar flyby and setting a record along the way: the farthest that humans have ventured in space.

The crew aboard the Orion spaceship is looping around the moon, making observations of the far side and going deeper into space than humans have ever ventured before.

The Artemis II astronauts are on a course back to Earth after flying by the moon Monday, witnessing a solar eclipse, and breaking a distance record set by NASA's Apollo 13 astronauts.

New research from the Democratic Republic of Congo offers a behavioral and anatomical portrait of a species that can achieve surprising athletic feats.

Many of the photos that have come out of the moon mission so far were taken by crew members. NASA says the crew is getting guidance from scientists on what to capture when they get closer to the moon.

With the last major firing of its engine, the Artemis II spacecraft is now on a path that will take it around the moon and back.
