It's moon flyby day, folks.

The Artemis II astronauts are expected to make history today as they reach distances no humans have ever traveled before on their journey around the moon.

The four-person crew — Christina Koch, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Jeremy Hansen — aboard the Orion spacecraft is scheduled to pass the distance record of 248,655 miles from Earth, set in 1970 by the Apollo 13, and continue on to 252,760 miles. In doing so, they'll be the first humans to see some parts of the far side of the moon in real time.

They won't be landing, but they will be gathering vital insights and data that will help NASA prepare for a future lunar landing in a couple of years' time. It's the most critical part of the 10-day mission, and you can tune into the historical event live.

Where to watch the Artemis II moon flyby livestream

NASA will provide live coverage of the historic lunar flyby on Monday, April 6, beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET. Fortunately, they won't gatekeep the livestream; you have plenty of options to tune in.

NASA+, the space agency's streaming service, will livestream the flyby, as well as the agency's YouTube channel and social media accounts. All of these options are completely free. Several streaming services are also hosting the NASA+ livestream on their platforms, if you prefer to watch there, including Netflix and Peacock.

While coverage starts at 1:00 p.m. ET, the flyby itself isn't expected until around 2:45 p.m. ET. NASA has outlined key lunar flyby times and milestones, but they are subject to change based on real-time operations. The crew will surpass the record for humans' farthest distance from Earth around 1:56 p.m. ET, and audio-only remarks from the astronauts will begin shortly after.
