Wait for it to focus...
Sound up...
Earthset, recorded by @astro_reid during the Artemis II lunar flyby.
The initial imperfect composition, and the phone hunting for focus makes this so much more human and familiar.
A celestial scene witnessed by only 28 of us in history...more
@AndySaunders_1 Each set of images received seems to surpass the previous ones. Are all the cameras on board digital, in other words will there be any images that we will have to wait till after splashdown to see?
“I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”
Mission specialists like @Astro_Christina train for all roles so they can jump in wherever they’re needed. Sometimes that means fixing vital machinery, like the spacecraft toilet.
The countdown continues to our return to the Moon.
Thank you @nasa - I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to see behind the scenes at such a momentous moment.
Tomorrow will be something else 🚀
🚨 Manchester United are waiting to find out if Michael Carrick does or doesn’t want a short-term extra player in the midfield. If he says yes, the club will TRY in the final days of the transfer window. #MUFC [@JacobsBen via The Football Terrace YT]
RIP Bill Anders - Jim Lovell once said to me that Apollo 8 was the highlight of his career because it was the first navigation of the ocean between Earth and Moon. I still find the Christmas Eve 1968 broadcast tremendously moving nasa.gov/missions/apoll…
Sad, sad news that Bill Anders has died in a plane crash.
One of the first three humans to escape Earth & travel to the Moon & took one of the most famous & important photographs in history, Earthrise.
Never shared this 16mm image of him before, feels appropriate today.
Ad Astra.
What’s a TV show you loved that only lasted a season or two?
The Fugitive (2000-2001)
Inexplicably cancelled at the end of season one, and on a MASSIVE cliffhanger...
Update: our flight was called a little early! Keep an eye on our socials for future giveaways. We’ll also be at the @manairport Runway Visitor Park on Sunday 3 March with plenty to give away!
If you’re in #Heathrow Terminal 5 right now and fancy upgrading your luggage, @lomasca has just 10 of our very own remove before flight tags to give away. Find him next to the lift for gate A10 (between A9 and A11).
The @FenixSimulation team have nailed it with V2 Block 2.
2 sectors today, short runway ops, a go around, IMC into a busy Heathrow, and a Flap 3 landing... They've knocked the ball out the park with this update, it's incredibly good.

A photograph of @JAXA_en's SLIM lander on the surface of the Moon just in. It shows the lander on its 'head' rather than its side.
The photograph was taken by LEV-2; a tiny 8cm robotic ball. LEV-2 sent the image back to Earth via the 'hopper' rover, LEV-1.
