The Artemis II astronauts set up cameras to capture the stages of the eclipse, after earlier losing connection with Nasa for 40 minutes.

Astronauts heading to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years are currently more than 100,000 miles (160,930 kilometres) from Earth and in "good spirits", according to Nasa officials.

The crew broke an Apollo record for the farthest human flight ever into deep space.
