Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman has released video showing the Earth disappearing from view as the crew traveled around the Moon.

In a post on X, Wiseman said he “could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window,” adding that the iPhone was “the perfect size to catch the view.”

“Only one chance in this time,” Wiseman wrote. “Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset.”

“I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view,” he continued.

“This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.”

The footage comes after Wiseman and the Artemis II crew returned to Earth earlier this month following their mission around the Moon, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

Wiseman previously said the experience left a lasting emotional impact.

“I’m not really a religious person, but there was just no other avenue for me to explain anything or to experience anything, so I just asked for the Navy chaplain to come visit us for a minute,” he said.

“When that man walked in — I’d never met him before in my life, but I saw the cross on his collar, and I just broke down in tears. It’s very hard to fully grasp what we just went through.”
