TRENDING NOW: Check out NASA’s video from recent trip to the moon

NASA went to great lengths to record some close-up footage of the moon.

The Orion spacecraft just got back to earth after encompassing the moon. It was part of the Artemis mission to put people on the moon again. However this phase of the mission relies on unmanned spacecraft.

“See up close views of the Moon from external cameras as well as the view from inside the capsule,” reads the description of the video.

Orion launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 16, and successfully returned to earth earlier today, Dec. 11.
