As Artemis II flew around the Moon on April 6, 2026, traveling further from Earth than any humans in history, mission commander Reid Wiseman captured this video of Earthset with his smartphone.

The sound you hear in the background is the shutter of mission specialist Christina Koch's camera as she captured photos of the moment. See more photos and videos from Artemis II: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimedia
