NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed lunar flyby in more than half a century, has produced some of the most iconic images of Earth in over 50 years. NASA confirmed that the striking photograph of Earth from space was taken using an iPhone 17 Pro Max aboard the spacecraft.
NASA released one of the first Earth images from the Artemis II crew, a full-view shot showing auroras over both poles and the subtle glow of zodiacal light, shortly after the Orion spacecraft completed its translunar injection burn, described by NASA as a 'six-minute firing of the spacecraft's service module engine,' and departed Earth's orbit.
