"Only One Chance In This Lifetime": Artemis II Astronaut Captures Stunning Video Of 'Earthset'

Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman has shared stunning video footage of a rare 'Earthset' - where the Earth slowly disappears behind the Moon. The astronaut filmed it on April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II mission, while the crew was flying past the Moon. The photo was taken with an iPhone and 8x zoom through the window of the Orion capsule, which makes it even more impressive. The video shows the Earth gradually slipping behind the Moon's edge, something astronauts call the "lunar limb." In the video, one can see parts of Earth covered in swirling clouds, especially over Australia and Oceania, before it vanishes from view. In the foreground, a crater on the Moon's surface is also visible, adding to the scale of the moment.
