Translunar injection (TLI) burn at T+1 hr 58 min. Visible against the exhaust plume are two of Orion's solar power arrays, in a swept back configuration.

The TLI burn was accomplished with an upper stage called the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion (ICPS) stage, which was then discarded. ICPS detaching at right, and at left, the back end of the European Service Module, with it's main engine (a recycled shuttle OMS engine) at left.

The ICPS stage had 10 Cubesat microsatellites attached to it, which were released with springs following ICPS stage separation, carrying various experiments.

A view looking back from Orion at the ICPS separation, against the backdrop of night side Earth (I think).

Currently, Orion is traveling just over 6,000 m.p.h., and the Moon is almost 208,000 mi. away.

@darulharb Oh boy, this got me revved up. Think I'll invent the Automobile. Can someone invent the wheel while I busy myself with figuring out steam engines.

@TheCape1961 If they haven't changed the formulation of the propellant in the solid rocket boosters from the Shuttle Era, one thing that doesn't photograph or video that you'd only know from seeing it in person is that they look like giant flying road flares. They burn a bright cherry red, but it's so bright it overexposes as white in photos and video.
