Artemis II Lunar Flyby today

Today the crew of Artemis II will view the Far Side of the Moon more fully and for the first time since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission to the Moon.

Today it will surpass the longest-ever human travel around the Moon.

US Eastern Time is 5 hours behind current British Summer Time.

The Orion spacecraft is now in the Lunar sphere of influence, pulled more by Moon’s gravity than Earth’s.

“Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens: praise Him in the heights.”

Psalm 148

1 The Lord of heav’n confess,
On high His glory raise.
2 Him let all angels bless,
Him all His armies praise.
3 Him glorify
Sun, moon, and stars;
4 Ye higher spheres,
And cloudy sky.

Psalm 148 – 1650 Scottish metrical second version
