NASA’s Orion capsule is headed into a distant orbit around the moon after a fly-by took the capsule 80 miles above the our moon's surface.

Orion’s on-board cameras captured a photo of the approaching moon and a very small earth floating in the distance.

On Monday, Orion will travel about 270,000 miles from Earth, the furthest a spacecraft intended for astronauts has flown from Earth in NASA's history.
