When NASA allowed Artemis II astronauts to take their smartphones with them, we already knew it could lead to some epic phone shots of the moon. NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman took one such photo on his iPhone, just as the Orion spacecraft his crew was on approached the moon for a lunar flyby. The astronauts turned off all the lights inside the cabin to be able to take better pictures. In the livestream, Wiseman showed the camera a photo he took on his iPhone 17 Pro.
As 9to5Mac notes, he said on the livestream that he took the picture on his iPhone camera with an 8x zoom. NASA reportedly said that the image showed the Chebyshev crater, a lunar impact sight located on the far side of the moon, or the side we don’t see from our planet. Artemis II launched on April 1 for a 10-day journey, with four astronauts onboard the mission’s Orion spacecraft. On April 6, it flew farther away from Earth than any mission before it after it arrived in lunar space, reaching a distance of 252,756 miles from our planet and breaking the record set by Apollo 13. The crew finished the lunar flyby at around 9:35PM on April 6 and is now making its way back to Earth.
We’ll likely see more images of the far side of the moon over the next few days as NASA releases them. The Artemis II crew is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego on April 10.
Astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this stunning image of the Moon using nothing more than an iPhone 17 Pro.

Smartphone colors have become one of the more formulaic aspects of mobile design. Most brands cycle through the same soft pastels and stone-inspired neutrals, year after year, with names like Moonstone, Fog, and Porcelain doing most of the heavy lifting. It’s a safe approach that generally works, but there’s rarely any real meaning behind these choices. A color is just a color, and that’s often where the story ends.
Google seems to have had the same thought, at least for Japan. The Pixel 10a Isai Blue is a Japan-exclusive model developed in collaboration with Heralbony, a creative company that works with artists with disabilities to produce new forms of cultural expression. It celebrates a decade of Pixel phones, and rather than simply marking the occasion with a new shade, Google made the color itself worth talking about.
Japan didn’t get the Pixel 10a when it first launched globally in February, which was a bit of an odd omission given how well the A-series has performed there. The country has quietly grown into one of Google’s stronger Pixel markets, so the wait wasn’t really a sign of indifference. Returning to Japanese fans with something made specifically for them says a lot more than a straight regional rollout would.
The name alone sets this apart from anything Google has done before. “Isai” translates to unique and unparalleled individuality, and this is actually the first time a Pixel color has been given a Japanese name. Most Pixel colors borrow from the natural world, but Isai Blue is built around something more conceptual: a deep navy shade tied to Heralbony’s own brand identity and its mission to celebrate human difference.
That philosophy runs all the way through to the software, too. Three Heralbony-contracted artists, Shigaku Mizukami, Midori Kudo, and Kaoru Iga, each contributed original designs that became exclusive wallpapers on the device. Pick one of the nine available artworks, and Material You automatically reshapes the phone’s icon colors and styling to match. It’s the kind of visual cohesion you don’t usually get with a phone at this price.
Of course, the collaboration doesn’t stop at the screen. Every unit comes bundled with an exclusive bumper case designed around the Pixel 10a’s completely flat back, which does away with any camera protrusion and makes the phone far easier to set down. Original stickers are also included, and the box sleeve carries artwork by Midori Kudo, so the whole unboxing feels deliberately curated.
The Isai Blue comes in a single 256GB configuration, priced at ¥94,900 (roughly $594) and available for pre-order in Japan ahead of its May 20 sale date. It’s only available while supplies last, which fits for something that was never really meant to be a mass-market offering. Google took the time to make this feel like a genuine gesture rather than a routine launch, and Japan has every reason to feel appreciated.
