The iPhone footage, captured on the mission’s second day, shows Earth’s reflected light illuminating the Orion cabin. Watch it below.
At this point, some might consider it old news that the Artemis II crew used iPhones to shoot photos and videos during their mission around the Moon earlier this month.
But for astronomy enthusiasts, myself included, there’s no such thing as too many astronomy photos and videos.
That said, earlier today, the NASA Artemis account on X shared a stunning video showcasing Earthshine from the Orion spacecraft.
In the video, astronaut Christina Koch’s face is completely lit up, illuminated only by sunlight reflected off Earth during the mission’s second flight day.
After a few seconds, she flips the camera, revealing Earth outside the capsule, with the iPhone’s reflection faintly visible in the glass.
Watch the video below:

Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video. pic.twitter.com/1YBxVj4hi9
