Four NASA astronauts currently aboard the Artemis II mission to the Moon have captured stunning images of Earth. Making these pictures even more impressive, they were taking using an iPhone 17 Pro Max, not the latest tech wizardry dreamed up by NASA.

NASA released the Artemis II crew's first downlinked images Friday, 1 1/2 days into the first astronaut moonshot in more than half a century.
