The crew for Nasa's Artemis II mission have described seeing the far side of the Moon for the first time.

Nasa astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen have entered the third day of their mission on the Orion spacecraft that will carry them around the far side of the Moon and back to Earth.

"Something about you senses that is not the Moon that I'm used to seeing," Koch said.

The crew shared a photo they took of the Orientale basin of the Moon, which Nasa said marked "the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes".

As of 23:00 BST on Saturday, Nasa's online dashboard showed the Artemis II spacecraft was more than 180,000 miles (289,681km) from Earth.
