Artemis II 'Earthset' Video Viral

The video marks the first time this phenomenon has been captured in high-definition video by a human crew.

Wiseman, the mission commander, described the moment as a 'one chance in this lifetime' experience as the crew traveled further from Earth than any humans in history.

The footage has gained massive traction online, drawing comparisons to the iconic 'Earthrise' photo from the Apollo 8 mission.

NASA officials highlighted the successful mission as a critical step toward the planned 2028 lunar landing.
