How an iPhone 17 Pro Max filmed the ultimate Earthset in Lunar orbit
NASA’s Artemis 2 mission has highlighted how great the iPhone’s camera can be for taking photos beyond the realm of Earth. However, astronaut Reid Wiseman has now shared an iconic video of an ‘Earthset’ captured from the far side of the Moon, and the footage has been shot on an iPhone!
Wiseman used an iPhone 17 Pro Max to capture the rare sight of the Earth setting behind the Moon’s horizon while aboard the Orion spacecraft’s flyby of the Moon. The 53-second video, which is uncropped and unedited, was shot with the 8x digital zoom lens, showing our planet slowly slipping behind the dark lunar surface.
