Artemis II 'Earthset' video viral

Artemis II 'Earthset' video viral

The viral video provides a breathtaking perspective of our planet as seen from the far side of the moon.

Wiseman, the mission commander, recorded the event during a critical flyby that tested the spacecraft's systems for future deep-space travel.

The footage has been hailed as a modern sequel to the iconic 'Earthrise' photo taken by Apollo 8 in 1968.

NASA officials say the mission's success paves the way for the crewed Artemis III landing, which is currently scheduled for 2027.
