Artemis was on its way to the moon when this photo was taken yesterday morning, only it was not headed directly towards the moon at that time. It was headed towards a spot to the left of the palm trees where the moon would be as Artemis passed around it early this morning.
It took a lot of complicated calculations to get the astronauts there at exactly the right time to go really close to the moon without ending up like a bug on the windshield. It’s way worse than the story problems we had to do in grade school math. Enough already, I’m getting a headache!
Good luck astronauts!
