Artemis 1: Flight Day 13
On its 13th flight day, the Orion spacecraft reached its farthest point from Earth, over 430,000 kilometers away. From Orion's perspective, both Earth and the Moon appear to be about the same apparent size in this video frame. The uncrewed spacecraft was in a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon.
