Last week, we wrote about photos that the Inspiration4 crew captured using Nikon cameras aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. The images were shot from 575km (357 mi) above Earth, which is about 166km (103 mi) higher than the International Space Station (ISS). The commander of the crew, billionaire Jared Isaacman shared another photo from the mission over the weekend, this time captured using an iPhone 12.

Per Digital Trends, Isaacman captured the image ‘through the all-glass dome built beneath the nose cone of the Crew Dragon spacecraft.’ You can see the nosecone in Isaacman’s photo.
Isaacman also shot a video with his iPhone 12 during the three-day orbital mission. The video shows Brazil as the spacecraft orbited overhead.
A video over Brazil from first day on orbit. Shot w/iPhone but hopefully we can get some of @inspiration4x Nikon shots out soon. Such a privilege to see our 🌎 from this perspective. We need to take far better care of our home planet and also reaching for the stars. pic.twitter.com/mAQw6eK8Ui
