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.

@HenrickMorris @STL_KR8 @reddit_lies Seriously you must not be a scientist. There are many things in science that is not all facts. Like for instance pretty much all of quantum theory, evolution etc.
there is a best guess and evidence… only religious people talk about one truth.

@UlisesDavid__ @grok because the Artemis version is the dark side of earth. That’s it.

@GissiSim The EU decided it would rather deindustrialise& destroy their economies rather than be friends with the Russians.The US is in decline & realises it is overextended and cannot maintain a global empire. At least the Chinese and BRIC's nations are more interested in trade than war.

「俺アメリカ人が日本の事好きなイメージが無かったんだよ。
何なら少し馬鹿にしてると思ってた」
私も同じだった。でも言語の壁が取り払われたら、最高の友人たちが、圧倒的な物量の善意を送ってくれた。私が暮らす福島にも好意を寄せてくれた。
本当に嬉しいし、こちらも最高の善意で応えたい。

@sakegorilla Can you release a short list or guide to recommended sake?
A few recommended per style or region

The most famous katsudon in Japan?! Say less...
Got it—that viral style is "yaki katsudon" (焼きカツ丼), pioneered/popularized by Tonkatsu Marushichi (とんかつ丸七). The massive thick pork cutlet (often 3-4cm, up to 600g!) is fried crisp & juicy separately, then placed on top of soft, fluffy scrambled/folded eggs—no simmering the katsu in egg to keep it ultra-crispy. Sweet soy tare drizzled on top. It kicked off the thick-cut Insta craze with lids that won't close!
Zuicho (Shibuya) does a similar "on top" version too, but Marushichi owns the "thickest in Japan" crown.

@PouletVinJaune @SnackReel Italians:
Is it true even in Italy using 100% pecorino can be seen as a bit too strong or sharp taste?
I see some people using whole eggs also - does this decrease quality?
English

@SnackReel It’s exactly the technique I use, but there is one thing missing here : Pecorino Romano. This cheese must represent at least half of the cheese, together with Parmiggiano, else you won’t get the real Roman taste.

@sakegorilla traditional sake is an art and has as many interesting things to learn about the regions and methods as wine.
If you like sake a little bit it’s worth it to go away from the big brands and try a real artisan style

Ain’t no way. Every Texan knows the only correct choice is Whataburger.

@DavidMc63826990 @CryptidPolitics Off all the dumb shit this admin has done, this one is actually universally agreed upon legally until trump got in office. He was not recognized - he was labeled a terrorist - even by Europe. Biden had a bounty on him

I don't agree with Rand, but unlike most of the dolts in this retard echo chamber I will admit he makes a valid argument. we have justified removing foreign leaders for decades. maybe this time it was right, but its fair to question this stuff. we need the rands of the world to question this bullshit blanket do what you want stuff. we don't like it when the other side does it. but its ok when our guy does it.

@TheIntelFrog @RealestMercury Getting the centrifuges is not the same as getting the enriched uranium. Who knows what the bda was

@RealestMercury Their nuclear program was forever sealed under rock too. Suddenly it was a huge problem just 7 months later.
English

The question is how much of that (Iran's) missile and drone capability remains operable and how much is forever sealed under rock.

Operation EPIC FURY kicked off ~1 month ago. In that time, we have struck 10,000 targets across Iran and sunk 92% of their Navy depleting 1/5 of our tomahawk inventory. After all that, Iran still retains 2/3 of it's missile & drone capability. 2 MEUs are en route, 1 should be arriving in the region today, in addition to elements of the 82nd Airborne - all three crisis response forces dispatched to the region after the start of the campaign.
