      Explanation: On flight day 13 (November 28) of the Artemis 1 mission   
      the Orion spacecraft reached its maximum distance from Earth. In fact,   
      over 430,000 kilometers from Earth its distant retrograde orbit also   
      put Orion nearly 70,000 kilometers from the Moon. In the same field of   
      view in this video frame from flight day 13, planet and large natural   
      satellite even appear about the same apparent size from the uncrewed   
      spacecraft's perspective. Today (December 1) should see Orion depart   
      its distant retrograde orbit. En route to planet Earth it will head   
      toward a second powered fly by of the Moon. Splashdown on the home   
      world is expected on December 11.
