@VirtualAstro I saw it aswell, got scared at first I can’t lie 😂😂 found this video on Facebook

"Tell the world to keep this energy going, lets invest in togetherness" - a message from Victor Glover, plus: inside the success of Artemis II and what comes next from my latest interview with the @TODAYshow

Nice big meteor over the UK at 12:30am. Video from Cara Crick and Yorkshire Weather.

Celebrating 65 years of humans in space! Today on the International Day of Human Space Flight, we honor the first flight into space made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, as well as the first Space Shuttle launch in 1981. The best is yet to come.

@jaycronin It would have certainly cooled down to near ambient temperatures by the time it hit the water. It was flying through thousands of feet of frigid air for several minutes before splash down.

@VirtualAstro Serious question - when it hit the cold water, why wasn’t any steam given off? Surely the craft would have carried some heat, as it had just been through the atmosphere & we were told the temp at that time was incredibly high.

While watching the ArtemisII Splash down yesterday evening, I was working on some shots for my new show. I can easily say, the CG planet Earth I was working on looks better than the one the astronauts could see out of their window 🤣 🤣 🤣

Well done NASA Well done ESA And well done to the four Artemis Astronauts, safely splashing down and safely home.

Photo of the Day: Earthset, captured on #GoPro 🌎 @NASA's Orion spacecraft captures the Moon and the Earth in one frame during the Artemis II crew’s deep space journey on the sixth day of the mission. The right side of NASA’s Orion spacecraft is seen lit up by the Sun. A waxing crescent Moon is visible behind it. And then, a crescent Earth, tiny compared to the Moon, is about to set below the Moon’s horizon on the right. Credit: NASA #NASA #Artemis #Moon #Space

@VirtualAstro Any plans for a show in or around Hertfordshire in the future? The @BEAMHertford in Hertford is amazing (I saw @ProfBrianCox there a few weeks ago for his warm up show). Just a suggestion 😂

@coxy_007 @NASAArtemis @NASA Glad you are enjoying it :)

@NASAArtemis watching the live coverage from the UK while reading this beautiful book by @VirtualAstro brought after watching his show in Bristol in Jan. highly recommend. @NASA

@BlakeOneOne82 You too :)

@VirtualAstro Well it would be tacky to name it after anyone who splits opinion such as he does, given how huge this moment is. I won't go into my political views,but, I get why you'd say that. Cheers though, enjoy the flyby! 🤙🍻

Please don't let them name a Lunar crater, Trump!

@BlakeOneOne82 Well it's a good job they didn't. We ere all worried ya know!

@VirtualAstro They've chosen the names as Carroll and Integrity B) Shouldn't Politicize an accomplishment for ALL mankind, really spoils the moment, ya know?!

@Matthew06230436 There are some craters on the far side without names, so they just named them.

@VirtualAstro The moon is already pretty well mapped, all its features have names already.
