Apple’s iPhone became qualified for extended use<\/a> in space back in February, and during the Artemis II mission to the Moon in April, NASA astronauts shared several photos taken<\/a> with the iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> Max.<\/p>\n

\"Earthset
Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman recently followed up with a shot on iPhone video<\/a> of an “Earthset,” or the moment that the Earth disappears behind the Moon. The video was captured from the docking hatch window on the Orion capsule, and it is the first Earthset shot on a mobile device.<\/p>\n

Only one chance in this lifetime\u2026

It takes a second for the iPhone to focus as Wiseman switches to 8x zoom mode on his \u200ciPhone 17 Pro\u200c Max, but the rest of the 53-second video features a clear look at the craters on the Moon as the Earth slips out of sight.<\/p>\n

Wiseman said that at 8x zoom, the view was “quite comparable to the view of the human eye.”<\/p>\n
