Overview
- The 53‑second clip that Reid Wiseman posted on X has drawn more than 16 million views.
- The video shows Earth disappearing behind the Moon during the crew’s close pass, a scene astronauts call an “Earthset.”
- Wiseman said he filmed it through Orion’s docking window on an iPhone at 8x zoom because the Moon was hard to see by eye.
- NASA had already released high‑resolution images from the flyby, including photos of the same moment that crewmate Victor Glover took with a 400 mm lens.
- The new perspective complements Apollo 8’s 1968 “Earthrise” by offering a modern, human‑taken counterpoint from the Artemis program.
