   Explanation: [5]On flight day 13 (November 28, 2022) of the Artemis I
   mission, the Orion spacecraft reached its maximum distance from its
   home world. Over 430,000 kilometers from Earth in a distant retrograde
   orbit, Orion surpassed the record for most distant spacecraft designed
   to carry humans. That record was previously set in 1970 during the
   [6]Apollo 13 mission to the Moon. Both Earth and Moon are in the
   [7]same field of view in this video frame from Orion on Artemis I
   mission flight day 13. The planet and its large natural satellite even
   appear about the same apparent size from the uncrewed [8]spacecraft's
   perspective.
