Israel’s unmanned Beresheet spacecraft has captured a stunning selfie on its historic journey to the Moon. The photo was taken when the probe was 37,600 kilometers (23,364 miles) from Earth, SpaceIL tweeted Tuesday. The lander is expected to reach the lunar surface on April 11. After reaching the lunar surface, the spacecraft will take Israel into a select group of nations. Unmanned contract missions to the lunar surface are expected to begin as early as 2019, it said.
