A Virtual Telescope Project (VTP) livestream will track NASA's Artemis 2 Orion spacecraft as it returns to Earth. The broadcast, hosted by astrophysicist Gianluca Masi, will begin at 10:45 p.m. EDT on April 9. VTP will use a network of robotic telescopes in Italy to track the spacecraft's return. If weather conditions permit, this could be one of the last few opportunities to catch a glimpse of the spacecraft in deep space.
