In today's image, we see our planet Earth as seen yesterday from the Orion spacecraft as it travels to our Moon. This mission is a part of NASA's deep space exploration systems which will hopefully again allow us to land humans on our Moon and perhaps Mars in the future. The craft will be flying by our Moon just a few days from now.
