During the second flight day of the Artemis II mission, astronaut Christina Koch filmed a captivating video capturing Earth from the Orion spacecraft. The footage, shared by the NASA Artemis account on X, shows Koch's face illuminated by sunlight reflected from Earth while the spacecraft was approximately 33,800 miles (about 54,500 km) away from the planet.
As she recorded, the view transitioned to show Earth outside the capsule, with the iPhone's reflection visible in the window. This event marks a notable use of technology during the mission, which took place earlier this month, highlighting the ongoing interest in space exploration among enthusiasts.
