A breathtaking moment from deep space has stunned viewers worldwide as NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman captures Earth slowly setting behind the Moon during the historic Artemis 2 mission. Filmed using a simple iPhone from inside the Orion spacecraft, the raw and unedited clip shows our planet’s blue curve disappearing beyond the Moon’s rugged horizon.

The rare “Earthset” moment, recorded during a lunar flyby, offers a deeply personal glimpse into space exploration. While fellow astronaut Christina Koch snapped high-resolution images in the background, Wiseman’s handheld video brings a human perspective to a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic view—reminding us that even the most extraordinary moments can be captured with something as simple as a phone.
