Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

#Work Check out our behind-the-scenes montage of the Daredevil: Born Again title sequence in the making. From the moment our sequence begins— the world emerges in tones of cold stone, gray, and tan. The city is cloaked in fog, its edges blurred. We see through Daredevil’s perspective— not by sight, but by sense: a world of shadowed shapes, obscured forms, and fragile memory. Monolithic statues, damaged and eroded, mirror the crumbling institutions Matt once believed in— the law, the church, and the myth of the city. Though heavy with decay, they retain a lingering weight, much like Matt himself: battered but not broken. Light seeps through cracks and fissures, casting a thin, uncertain glow over a city suspended between ruin and the faint hope of restoration.
