This photo of Earth is EXTRA spectacular for a good reason... let me explain. Most images you see of Earth from space are the daylight side of the Earth, and it's obviously very bright (see my last image), this means stars are too dim to be seen with that bright exposure setting (low ISO, high shutter and / or stopped down aperture). BUT this image taken by the Orion crew looks so incredible because you can see the sun is BEHIND the earth, meaning it's night time on the side of the earth facing the crew in this image. So how do you expose a night time earth from space? Same way you do on Earth! A mixture of opening up the aperture (F4 in this case), cranking the ISO (51,200 here), and using a relatively long exposure (1/4 of a second). We can see the settings used by looking at the exif data from the camera. What this means is our camera is also sensitive enough to see stars in the background of Earth, leading to an extraordinary image!!! GREAT WORK!!! These are the kind of images I've been so excited to see!

@CotswoldGirls @BloodyPolitics And Thorntons makes them. (Or did when I worked for them)

@BloodyPolitics I’ve just been in M&S, not one egg with Easter on the box.

Actual Easter Eggs made with actual chocolate and not a drop of bloody palm oil in sight. Well done Thorntons. 🐣

@BrockRiddickIFB Make your mind up. Is the moon a projection or not?

@Porscheandcats @antosh_1 Comedy isn’t for you.

@Sean_Boon @antosh_1 U guys invest way too much time in the most obvious joke i have made in a while

oh my god. the northern lights. look how thin our fucking atmosphere is.

@Porscheandcats @antosh_1 This might help.

@Porscheandcats @antosh_1 First off. The image is upside down to your anticipated orientation. Secondly. There are northern and southern lights anyway.

@Theokleia @RealDigitalDark @NASA So the one from Artemis 2 is pretty damn impressive then.

I was interested too so I looked it up. (But I’m not 100% on any of this). They’re taken from a fixed, distant position. Satellites like Elektro-L sit in geostationary orbit (~36,000 km). They don’t move relative to Earth’s surface and That allows long, stable imaging and so…No motion blur like you’d get from a passing spacecraft…like a tripod in space.

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

@Theokleia @RealDigitalDark @NASA I can’t believe the iss can provide a higher detailed image by being physically closer to the photographs subject. Shocking

@RealDigitalDark @NASA And the ISS Roscosmos offers this.

@NASAEarth @Astro_Christina You’d never even know it was full of violence and destruction, verging of the end of humanity. So sad.

That's us! 🌍 The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

@Astrophysicslad Damn right. He never stepped foot on the moon. If he says he did he’s a liar.

It is *extremely* unlikely that Nelson Armstrong landed on the moon.

@TheDeep_State6 @Astrophysicslad You’re right

@Astrophysicslad Neil Armstrong did land on the moon.

‘The golfer from Mara lago’ 🫢

@benonwine But he does. So there’s that.

If the King of our country no longer represents the Christian faith and the Church of England then I’m sorry what is he for. The King must ABDICATE Now!

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Because the vast majority are Roman CATHOLIC

Whilst the King of England REFUSES to even say happy Easter as defender of the faith, this is how they celebrate Holy Week over in Spain 🇪🇸 Our monarchy, government, and all civil services are completely capitulated to Islam.

@TiceRichard You spend half your time in Dubai. You’re no patriot

After his nice messages at Eid and Ramadan, we look forward to a warm Easter message from King Charles III in his role as Defender of the Faith of the Church of England

@TiceRichard Good old queenie

Idea. If you want an Easter message. Get off your pretend Christian ass and go to church. Learn a bit about the faith and stop spreading your hate and division. Lots of love and agnostic.

@SimonFoxWriter @fatdaddy_2 Ah. There is no hate like Christian love.

@fatdaddy_2 That's the problem. We don't know that he is one, but we also don't know that he ISN'T one.

Memo to King Charles: It is not possible to be a Christian AND a Muslim at the same time. If you are a Muslim, you cannot be the Head of the Church of England, and you cannot be King either.

So many Christians taking time out of their Good Friday events to hate on other faiths and the head of the Church of England.

King Charles won't give an address for Easter, but he'll give one for an Islamic holiday The UK has fallen.
