Artemis II has left the building! The four-mile journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to Launch Pad 39B will take up to 12 hours.

That time we casually landed on a comet and took photos. This is Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, captured by the Philae lander during ESA’s historic Rosetta mission.
