Artemis II moon flyby begins: How to watch and what to know

A close up of the moon in the darkness of space, with only it's right outer edge illuminated by the sun.

The Artemis II mission's four crewmembers have officially reached the moon system, ‪and you can watch their historic lunar flyby live along with them.

The crew's anticipated six-hour flyby of the moon begins at 2:45 p.m. EDT Monday (April 6). During this time, the astronauts — who are flying farther from Earth than any humans in history — will see the entire lunar disk outside their cabin window and have a rare chance to make up-close scientific observations of Earth's natural satellite. NASA's broadcast of the flyby begins at 1 p.m. EDT, and you can watch it right here or on the agency's YouTube page.
