# Simulated Artemis II Lunar Flyby Visualization (a2 flyby 1min 2160p30)

This visualization simulates what the crew of Artemis II might see out the window on the day of their closest approach to the Moon. It compresses 36 hours into a little more than a minute as it flies the virtual camera on a realistic trajectory that swings the spacecraft around the Moon's far side. This sample trajectory is timed so that the far side is fully illuminated when the astronauts fly by, but other lighting conditions are possible depending on when Artemis II actually launches.
