Why has it taken so long to return to the Moon? Great read by @DVicinanza ahead of the Artemis II launch theconversation.com/why-has-it-tak…

The excised footage was supposedly destroyed, although @lostprintmovie details a search for the missing reels - including in Brazil. In 1942, Welles travelled to the country to make his next feature. The Ambersons footage was shipped there so he could finish editing.

Mixed responses from audience previews led studio RKO to wrest the film from Welles. They slashed 43 minutes from the film and gave it a happy ending.

Somebody was going to try this sooner or later: using AI to recreate the lost scenes from Orson Welles’ masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons

@ThisisWalter89 @BFI Great to see this on 4K. Nice list of extras too!

Out this week on 4K UHD and Blu-ray from @BFI Akira Kurosawa’s epic The Hidden Fortress! #akirakurosawa #samurai

@ThisisWalter89 @BFI Congrats!

Delighted that the @BFI's Blu-ray release of Michael Powell: Early Works was recognised at this years Il Cinema Ritrovato Blu-ray and DVD Awards. Congrats to all the nominees and winners inc but not limited to @Criterion @StudiocanalUK #carlotta @imprint_films @SeverinFilms

#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1

Congrats Firefly Aerospace. It’s Blue Ghost 1 becomes the second commercial lander to touch down softly on the Moon spacenews.com/fireflys-blue-…

Intuitive Machines’ lander is on its way to the Moon after Falcon 9 successfully deployed Athena into a lunar transfer orbit. Not a bad view! Best of luck @Int_Machines, @Astroforge, @NASAJPL’s Lunar Trailblazer, and @EpicAerospace's Chimera GEO 1 on the remainder of your missions! Soon, this will be the view on our way to Mars. It’s so beautiful

The sample of soil delivered to Earth from the asteroid Bennu contains some of the ingredients for biology, such as amino acids (building blocks of proteins), nucleobases, that make up DNA and RNA, along with evidence of salt water nasa.gov/news-release/n…

Last night, @blueorigin's New Glenn rocket reached orbit for the first time. Its launch was powered by seven BE-4 engines, which we described in this 2019 feature article: spectrum.ieee.org/blue-origins-n…

A milestone for Blue Origin: New Glenn launches from Florida on its first flight

Updated launch details for New Glenn

@BBCPallab @esa It was just missing the cellophane flowers :) The pics were amazing - those channels in the surface just like it was said there would be. When I saw that first image onscreen I was transfixed by it all for a few moments. Then remembered I had to get to the press room and file :)

@rincon_p I remember seeing the pictures for the first time coming in to @esa , especially the colour images of a beautiful world with tangerine methane rivers and marmalade skies. Very Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. 🤩

20 years ago today, the Huygens spacecraft touched down on Saturn’s moon Titan - the most distant landing by a human-built craft. I was reporting on it from ESA’s control centre in Darmstadt. Huygens sent data and images during a 2 hr 27 min descent through Titan’s atmosphere

@BBCPallab We were! I remember it well! It was a great event to cover

@rincon_p We were there! :-)

Look at that view! Blue Ghost is now separated from the launch vehicle and our road trip to the Moon has officially begun! Stay tuned as we look to acquire signal to the lander within the next 30 minutes. #BGM1

There it goes: our post-holiday delivery aboard Blue Ghost begins its journey to the Moon! In addition to providing information about the Moon, the data these instruments will capture could help us on Earth by providing insights into how space weather impacts our planet.

@Wildraar The images in posts 1 and 4 are artist’s impressions. The images in post 2 are real - taken by Huygens. The image in post 3 is of Titan at near infrared wavelengths taken by the Cassini spacecraft

@rincon_p Is that an image or an artists recreation?
