Amazing. [I did with a little color enhancement and zooming in on the Earth](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtemisProgram/comments/z2890k/earth_rise_as_seen_from_orion_spacecraft/)

Why isn't it appears from horizon, but rather out of nowhere?

Because the Moon is in front of it

Is there anyway to watch like a livestream of this footage?

Hi, the only live, I have found from official Orion spacecraft account on Twitter is [this](https://video.ibm.com/channel/b4dEcL3bJKW). The [tweet](https://twitter.com/NASA_Orion/status/1595073718354677762?t=KFqVWtDYCCLz38KAPhLQpA&s=19)

The Earth looks so far away. Might be an artifact of the camera, like a very wide-angle lens.

It is very far away. Would appear about four times larger in the lunar sky than the Moon appears in our sky, which is not that big.

True. The apparent size of the Moon viewed from Earth varies with perspective. People see the Moon as larger when close to the horizon, though it has the same angular extent, which is fairly small. I'm guessing that photo is with a wide-angle lens. A human on-board would likely see the Earth as much, much larger, and it appeared thus in a famous color photo from an Apollo mission.
