The four astronauts on Nasa's Artemis II mission have travelled further from Earth than anyone in human history, in a dramatic lunar flyby that brought spectacular images of the planet from rarely seen angles.
The Orion spacecraft's crew lost contact with mission control for 40 minutes as they circled behind the Moon, as was expected. With communications re-established, astronaut Christina Koch said: "It's so great to hear from Earth again."
The team also witnessed a total eclipse of the Sun as the Moon blocked out its light, before beginning their journey back home.
After the flyby, President Trump spoke to the team and congratulated them: "Today, you've made history and made all America really proud, incredibly proud."
