India, April 7 -- Four astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis II test flight around the Moon are returning to Earth after conducting a historic lunar fly-by and witnessing a total solar eclipse from their spacecraft.
U.S. astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, made history at 1:56 p.m. ET on Monday, when they reached 248,655 miles from Earth, surpassing the farthest distance ever traveled by humans, a record previously set by Apollo 13 in 1970.
