@downey Thanks for being a gigachad in this sea of nonsense.

The first picture wasn't limited by camera technology but by communications. The first space based image of the Earth was 20 years earlier, taken on film by a rocket that parachuted the camera back to surface. Lunar Orbiter didn't have that option.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_first_images_of_Earth_from_space@mustapipa @tymwol

Moon joy.How grand and how small and how great and how intimate it all is.

@chandlerkyle93 @markwyner It's a beacon of light in an otherwise dark time. A culmination of years of brilliant science put together for humankind. We can take the win

@Trilobyter Congratulations, and thank you for your service! 🫡

@samvarma awesome

@occult this year's password appears to be 9393

@mastodonmigration @AkaSci

@nerdd You have to believe They️ tried - so yes, apparently NASA held firm...

@crawfordsm I’m excited that there’s a small chance the rocket will fall out of the sky and hit #Trump on the head

@mrundkvist In all fairness, the previous plans were also unrealistic.

@65dBnoise @sharponlooker is that the right way round? to my eyes it looks like the closest rock (at the bottom of the image) is a hole inside the surrounding one.

High-res photos from the #ArtemisII lunar flyby are going up in the Lunar Flyby gallery on NASA.gov: https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/lunar-flyby/ -- and are also being added to the #NASA JSC Artemis II photoset on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/albums/72177720307234654/ This eclipse photo is especially nice: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore/55193566011/in/album-72177720307234654 (moon covering sun, looks like they don't have the earth-sun eclipse pics up yet) #Artemis2 #space
