NASA will stream the historic Artemis II lunar flyby live on YouTube and its NASA+ portal, kicking off at 1 PM ET. The crew—Reid Wiseman, Christina Koch, Victor Glover and Jeremy Hansen—have already logged 39,000 miles since the April 1 launch and are set to break the distance record held since Apollo 13.

At 1:56 PM ET the spacecraft surpasses all previous crewed missions in distance, then Orion begins its Moon pass at 2:45 PM ET. Expect the closest approach around 7:02 PM ET, followed seconds later by the maximum Earth‑space separation at 7:07 PM ET. These timestamps let viewers catch the most dramatic points without watching the full broadcast.

A rare total solar eclipse from the Moon’s far side occurs at 8:35 PM ET, an event invisible from Earth. Streaming via NASA+ is also available through Netflix for subscribers. The mission’s real‑time coverage offers space enthusiasts a front‑row seat to humanity’s deepest venture beyond low‑Earth orbit.
