Artemis II mission returning to Earth from the Moon on April 8th, as dawn was starting here. Integrity was 338,000 km away at the start, and nearly 1,000 km closer at the end 23 minutes later #Artemis #ArtemisII #NASA #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

I NEED THIS PHOTO NOW PLEASEEEEE

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Meanwhile on Mars, the Curiosity Rover caught a rather large dust devil this week on Sol 4852.

Currently in an art class at college. This is one of the hardest learning curves I’ve seen. I’d put it up there with my first calculus class. How do people do this man

OK, looks like 3I/ATLAS is a comet! If it were an asteroid the image would be symmetric circles. The distortion is likely due to ices sublimating to form a gaseous tail.

Maybe we shouldn't get into a situation where one guy can threaten the entire U.S. space program because the president wrote a mean tweet about him. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A newly discovered object in the outer solar system, 2017 OF201, is the largest found in more than a decade. buff.ly/k8MCYIS . . #astronomy #solarsystem #discovery

NEW: Those undulations aren’t clouds—they’re Jupiter’s aurora as seen by #NASAWebb. Webb observed light from a particular molecule, represented in orange, and found that the planet’s aurora fluctuates on timescales of minutes or seconds: webbtelescope.pub/4kbsB20 🔭 🧪

If I have any writers following me, how on earth do you manage more than a thousand words in a day? I can push to 1500 on my best moments but I can’t think for the rest of the day.

Anyone know why my WiFi would disconnect every 2 minutes on the dot? I’m using a USB netgear wifi adapter on my home network.

I bought more aperture. XT-8 and all 5’9” of me as reference lol. 12.5” discovery dob has a new home :)

Incredibly pretty, shame it had to explode for the view but man I’m glad there were cameras lol

If anyone can discover a cure to aperture fever PLEASE let me know I keep looking at 16” dobs like a dog looking at a moose leg and I do NOT have the money to cure myself

My mom is absolutely in love with the painting @stellerarts.bsky.social Thank you for the very nice note as well :D She liked your volcano landing page :)

We should donate telescopes to the all the people filming planes and what not in the north east, that would really blow their mind
