The eclipse from Orion. On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.

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."

@verge You're supposed to say "April Fools!" when making a joke on April 1st.

The Artemis Moon base project is legally dubious theverge.com/science/905406…

You'd think so, but nope! Going straight up will get you to space, but you'd fall right back down the moment you cut off your engines. The way to get into "orbit" (which is how you stay in space and experience zero G without burning fuel) is by moving sideways fast enough that your sideways motion creates a ballistic arc that keeps your altitude above Earth. They're still in freefall, but moving so fast they "miss" the planet. From orbit, they can then burn the engines at the right time to break out of orbit and fall towards the moon once they get close enough, with precise heading that allows them to "miss" it and fall back down to the planet in what's known as a free return trajectory. That's how this works in a nutshell, but orbital mechanics are tough to wrap your head around so I'd strongly suggest spending some more time reading about it!

“We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Godspeed, Artemis II.

@Kaiju_Freak_v2 Yes.

@NianticSpatial @PokemonGoApp @scopely It's 2026, why are we still having this particular task?! There are no new Pokestops!

@AJamesMcCarthy I WISH my telescope could capture it this clearly!

The planet Saturn, captured during it's closest approach to Earth from the top of a parking garage in the heart of Los Angeles. You can do plenty of astrophotography from a big city!

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version were released on this day in North America back in 2011! 🖤🤍

@AJamesMcCarthy When the belly is that fuzzy, you have to rub it, even when it's a trap. That's the law.

Do you think he’s asking for tummy rubs or is it a trap?

@RapidFire9999 @DailyMcSayo No time like the present to hop on Steam and re-download it.

@SlayerOfTears @DailyMcSayo I've barely remember DDLC.

Safety carry #DDLC

@RapidFire9999 @DailyMcSayo No, base game. 2nd day of her route, where she bumps her head.

@SlayerOfTears @DailyMcSayo Is that Doki Doki Salvation?

@airandspace Feels like the opening to an old sci-fi movie, with the planet getting closer like that.

Here, have a timelapse showing Voyager 1’s view of Jupiter. On this day in 1979, Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Jupiter, flying within 172,000 miles of its cloud tops. This timelapse is from earlier that year.

Mark your calendars 🌌 February 28, 2026 — a rare six-planet alignment where Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune drift quietly into line.
