We’ve seen our fair share of remarkable images and videos from NASA’s Artemis II mission around the Moon. Some of them were even captured on iPhone.<\/p>\n

But astronaut and commander of the Artemis II mission, Reed Wiseman, has just posted a new video that may be the most impressive yet.<\/p>\n

It was shot on an iPhone 17 Pro Max with 8x zoom and shows the Earth setting behind the Moon.<\/p>\n

Here’s Reed Wiseman’s video on X<\/a>: :<\/p>\n

Only one chance in this lifetime…<\/p>\n

Like watching a sunset on the beach from the most alien seat in the universe, I couldn’t resist Earthsat’s cell phone video. This is how you can hear the shutter on a Nikon @astro_christina<\/a> 3-Shot is hammering the brackets and capturing them… pic.twitter.com\/8aWnaFJ69c<\/a><\/p>\n

From Wiseman’s post:<\/p>\n

I could barely see the moon through the docking hatch window, but the iPhone was the perfect size to capture the scene… This is it, uncropped, with an 8x zoom that’s equivalent to the human eye’s view. enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The team of NASA astronauts has already given Apple a lot of Artemis II material for future ‘Shot on iPhone’ missions, but this is quite a surprise in itself.<\/p>\n
