Summary
- Astronauts on a lunar mission used iPhones to photograph the moon.
- A past Reddit hack suggested shooting 4K video for better iPhone moon shots.
- The Artemis astronauts ventured further than ever before on their mission.

Artemis astronauts have found an extraordinary way to photograph the moon: by being there. While on their lunar flyby mission, the astronauts utilized their onboard iPhones to capture the lunar landscape. This mission saw the astronauts venture further from Earth than any humans in history.
Earlier discussions online had proposed a technical workaround for achieving better moon photos with an iPhone. A popular suggestion involved recording in 4K video to gain more control over exposure and zoom. The Artemis astronauts' approach offers a more direct and spectacular method for capturing celestial imagery.
