I'm thrilled to share this unique collaboration with Artemis Il astronaut @astro_reid. Artemis II was a unique opportunity to get high-quality imagery of the moon, and Reid was gracious enough to capture some special image sets for me during the lunar flyby.

I think Reid Wiseman asking if they can name a moon crater in honor of his late wife might be the single most romantic thing anyone has ever done.

In an emotional moment broadcast live from the Orion spacecraft, the Artemis II crew chose to name a Moon crater “Carroll" after commander Reid Wiseman's wife, who died of cancer in 2020. “It's a bright spot on the Moon. And we would like to call it Carroll."

Why are you here? "We're going back to the fucking moon, that's why." The kids are ok.

this is one of the best speeches she’s ever given

Quelli che si stanno impegnando tanto per convincervi ad andare a votare sì per una riforma che interessa a loro, sono gli stessi che l'anno scorso si sono impegnati tanto nel dirvi di andare al mare per una riforma che interessava a voi. #ottoemezzo #ioVoteròNO

In loving memory of Eric Dane. ❤️

non è una società patriarcale la nostra e procede a dire la cosa più misogina del mondo ma questa arietta sanremese

Under the lights of San Siro, Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti steps forward. A beautiful celebration of science, wonder and the next generation. 🚀✨ #MilanoCortina2026 | #OpeningCeremony

Gli agenti di #ICE hanno minacciato i colleghi giornalisti RAI Laura Cappon @lacappon e Daniele Babbo a #Minneapolis. Stavano lavorando per #inmezzora , la milizia di Trump ha minacciato di spaccare il finestrino dell'auto e tirarli fuori se avessero continuato a filmare. Ps: a Minneapolis ci sono tipo -25 °C @Inmezzorarai

@TheBrandonTitus @elonmusk @SpaceX @grok Send me a DM and we can try to get you all out to the Crew 12 launch at KSC.

Curious about the #EU #Space Act being negotiated? Here it is a good @IAIonline analysis by @KarolinaMuti @andreagrillo98 Sergio Marchisio & Michele Nones, explaining well the prevailing view in #Italy: iai.it/en/pubblicazio… @mavimassarin @FlorissiMarco @DanielFiott @crimax2008

Quite possibly the most stunning bit of astrophotography of the year!

Captured last night- probably the coolest comet shot I've ever gotten. I've never seen such a dynamic tail on a come. Incredible active, and moving quickly, which makes photographing it a challenge. See how it moves in the reply.

Here's a timelapse of about 40 minutes of movement. You can see not only the movement against the stars, but the way the tail streams away from the nucleus. This is monochrome due to the way I had to cycle through filters to capture color. I'm shooting it again tonight. WOW.
