(AP Photo/John Raoux ) With the successful launch of Artemis I, NASA has embarked on its latest mission to explore the unknown for the benefit of humanity. This uncrewed flight test is the first in a series of complex missions that will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, while uniting humanity and inspiring the next generation through deep space exploration. Today’s successful launch is the result of multilateral cooperative efforts to explore space, achieve a sustainable and robust presence on the Moon later this decade, and prepare to conduct a historic human mission to Mars. Through the Artemis program, the United States is building the broadest and most diverse international human space exploration coalition in history, focused on making scientific and technolog...

Even from only one-fifth of the distance to the moon, Earth looks pretty small. Artemis 1 has sent home its first stunning image from what will be a 25-day mission through deep space. The mission launched atop a Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket at 1:47 a.m. EST (0647 GMT) today (Nov. 16) to conduct an uncrewed test flight around the moon. The new "selfie" image of the Orion spacecraft's hardware and Earth's partially illuminated disk come from more than nine hours into the Artemis 1 flight. At the time, the capsule was more than 57,000 miles (92,000 kilometers) from Earth, about one-fifth of the distance to the moon, and traveling at nearly 5,500 mph (8,800 kph). "This view of Earth captured from a human-rated spacecraft not seen since 1972 during the final Apollo mission some 50 years ago," NASA spokesperson Sandra Jones said during the live broadcast sharing views from the capsule today. "The views of our blue marble in the blackness of space now ...

  Spectators watched a SpaceX rocket lifting off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., in 2020.Credit...Charlie Riedel/Associated Press The first launch of the Artemis mission to return to the moon may provide a late-night light show, if you live in Florida or southeastern Georgia and are willing to stay up late to see it. The launch opportunity begins at 1:04 a.m. Eastern time, and could happen any time until 3:04 a.m., if it occurs. With the mission lifting off from Kennedy Space Center, rocket watchers on the ground in Florida can spot the space-bound behemoth, which will be visible to the naked eye for up to 70 seconds after it launches. And Florida residents might be able to see it from the comfort of home. “As long as they have a clear view of the sky in that direction, they should be able to see it across the state,” said Meagan Happel, a spokeswoman for the Space Coast Office of Tourism in Florida. The visibility will last longer the closer a person is to Cape Canaveral, but you don’t...
