NASA's Orion spacecraft, which is currently stationed at the lunar orbit, has captured a black and white photo of Earth.
The space capsule snapped the picture on November 17, a day after it was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
Orion captured the photo using its optical navigation camera.
Taking the imagery of the Earth and the Moon at different phases and distances using the highly powerful camera helps establish its effectiveness as a way of determining its position in space for future missions under differing lighting conditions.
