Today's the big day, the day we've all been waiting for: NASA's Artemis 2 astronauts will make their closest lunar flyby today. The crew of four will become the first astronauts to visit the moon since 1972. They will be able to see parts of the moon that the Apollo astronauts didn't, like the poles of the moon's far side and a rare solar eclipse from beyond the moon.
Follow along with us today as we keep you updated with the latest milestones and news as they happen, right here at Space.com

Many of us have been waiting years to watch as the Artemis 2 crew makes their lunar flyby today. The historical significance of humanity's return to the moon has yet to be seen, but for today, we're all on the edge of our seats waiting to see what the Artemis 2 lunar flyby brings.
We've been following the mission around the clock since launch with reporting on the ground at mission control at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, and we'll be keeping you updated today as records are broken and we get to see parts of the moon we've never seen with human eyes.
Thank you to all of our readers for joining in our excitement as we go along for the ride today and sharing in the wonder of this truly momentous occasion in space exploration and human history.
