The view from the #Orion of the far side of the Moon and Earth just before LOS - the crucial burn should have happened by now, and AOS is expected in a few minutes.
The far side of the #Moon, imaged today by the #Orion spacecraft (left) and two days ago by Italy's #ArgoMoon, one of the ten CubeSats launched together with her: esa.int/ESA_Multimedia and asi.it/2022/11/nuovo-, respectively. Both views are dominated by the Mare Orientale.
Several high-resolution photographs - not video stills - of #Orion approaching the #Moon today have now appeared in the album flickr.com/photos/nasa2ex - scroll down!
Ah, *this* is the reason the #Moon appears so bright in the #Orion approach pictures ... the #GoPro camera fired its flash! Really, look it up at flickr.com/photos/nasa2ex ;-)
