Interesting that not a spec of light from the night side registers at these settings.

Probably should have turned on the flash.

Heeeyyy!
I'm glad you're going to the moon, distracting the world from all the tyranny and stuff. Doing Sailor Moon commercials, but could we please get our internet back to working properly here on earth?

I was expecting to see some city lights, somewhere, on the night side.

What manner of sorcery is this? The MAGA base said it was flat. Something ainโ€™t right.

Reminder that we live on a work of art, and should preserve it.

It's so refreshing to look through a thread and not have ONE flat earther or space denier in it.

That's a breathtaking view. Reminds me of why we're pushing the boundaries of space exploration.

In the other direction, a fully illuminated Moon. Also taken on April 3rd by the Artemis II crew.

@diane.dianeduane.com This is basically how it looked in Deep Wizardry when they showed Nita's parents? That's been stuck in my head forever.

Happy birthday to retired NASA astronaut Franklin Chang-Diaz. He has three more spaceflights than the entire crew of the Artemis-2 moon mission put together.
