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 capturing the imagination of a new generation — the Artemis generation."

In addition to the "selfie" image, NASA also released a view from inside the capsule, showing "passenger" Commander Moonikin Campos, which is testing the orange suit that astronauts will wear aboard the vehicle on its next flight.

Also visible in the internal view is the Callisto experiment, a partnership with Amazon to test Alexa technology in space. One of the Orion's windows is visible toward the right side of the view.
