Fifty-four years after Apollo 8 captured the iconic Earthrise image, NASA has shared some amazing footage from the Orion’s recent lunar mission.
NASA has shared some incredible footage showing Earth rising behind the moon.
It was captured on November 28 as Orion orbited our nearest neighbor during the Artemis I test mission, which saw the first flight of NASA’s next-generation Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
Asked in the comments why the two celestial bodies appear to wobble in the footage, NASA explained: “The slight wobble is because the camera was in a fixed position on the spacecraft’s solar array while the moon and Earth continued to move in their orbits relative to Orion,” adding that the footage plays at 900 times the original speed.
