Absolutely insane.

Interfaces in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

The Sun reappears after 54 minutes of totality during the Artemis II mission around the dark side of the Moon.

We anticipate that the Orion spacecraft has now departed the lunar sphere of influence — this is when the gravitational pull of the Moon is stronger than the gravitational pull of Earth. The Artemis II crew are headed home. Splashdown will take place on Friday, April 10.

Here is a labeled image so you can see the craters more clearly!

This will surely go down at one of the all-time iconic images of human space exploration. I was listening to the live feed last night and the astronaunts not really having the words to describe the view - and i can well understand why after seeing this incredible image. Four other planets are also in shot. Neptune is mid-way between Saturn and Mars but too faint to be seen. On the Earthshine illuminated portion of the moon several prominent craters are seen. Just below centre is Humboldt, while just above about half visible is the edge of Mare Smythii. Both these areas can just about be seen from Earth during favourable lunar librations of that area.

this wikipedia editor is orbiting the moon right now!

1968 - the arrival 1972 - the farewell 2026 - the return

This is the Republican party in 2026. Its so over for yall. Imagine what you'd say if any Democrat President said and did this type of shit. Straight criminal. You are all going to jail. Stop enabling this pedophile rapist reality star senile dictator wanna-be. IMPEACH, REMOVE AND IMPRISON.

Why do the Artemis II astronauts keep calling their Orion spacecraft, "Integrity"? The crew chose this name for their home away from home because it "embodies the foundation of trust, respect, candor, and humility" of the teams behind the Artemis II mission.

What kind of shitbag do you need to be to support the President literally Trolling & Crashing Out like he's a terminally online weirdo? These posts arent for Iran. They are for his brain damaged dude bros online. They get to laugh & cheer these posts as "winning" while getting fucked over here at home. Its either that, or our fraud-in-chief is actually shitting himself over this mess he's got us in and is having a very Public Meltdown, losing his mind. 🤦‍♂️

The world stopped to watch Artemis II. Moments like this remind us what is possible and inspire the next generation to dream bigger and take us even further. We are just getting started on this grand adventure. It is time to start believing again.

One of the recent lunar views taken from Artemis shows one of the most fascinating lunar surface features that is only ever partly visible from here on Earth. The giant multi-ring impact basin Mare Orientale in nicely seen in the view taken by the astronauts, and the inset image shows the basin imaged by Lunar Orbiter 4. From Earth, this feature is located within the western libration zone - only visible when the wobble of the moon briefly brings it partially into view at the western limb. In a comment below i've also posted a mosaic i shot some years back of Mare Orientale during its maximum presentation toward Earth.

If Obama had tweeted “praise be to Allah” on Easter Sunday Republicans would… oh, forget it.

One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon. This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.

Week 1: We won! Week 2: Please send help. Week 3: We won! Week 4: Why isn't anyone helping?! Week 5: Praise be to Allah

"In all of this emptiness, [...] you have this oasis" Victor Glover, Pilot, Artemis II, reflects on Planet Earth the evening before Easter.

NASA appears to be centralizing a lot of their high-resolution Artemis II media at this link. A good one to keep in your bookmarks. nasa.gov/gallery/journe…

Liftoff of Artemis II! The first human mission around the moon since the Apollo era. A gorgeous launch into clear skies about an hour before sunset, on the first attempt. I set this one hoping it would launch in the early minutes of the window. Photo: United Launch Alliance
