"I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view... This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye."
"This was the first time that human eyes had witnessed an Earthset in 54 years since the Apollo 17 mission."
"The Artemis II crew flew more than 5,000 miles beyond the Moon as they travelled more than a quarter of a million miles away from Earth - the furthest any humans have ever been from terra firma."
"I, like many people, overuse the word 'awesome.' It should only really be used when something actually inspires awe. This video absolutely meets that mark."
The Artemis II mission provided the first human view of an Earthset in 54 years, with Commander Reid Wiseman sharing a video filmed on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Mission specialist Christina Koch captured still images using a Nikon camera. The crew traveled over a quarter of a million miles from Earth, reaching the furthest point humans have ever been. Wiseman described the video as uncropped and uncut, showcasing a view comparable to the human eye, and emphasized the awe-inspiring nature of the experience.
