This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams. Taken from behind the Moon on April 6th. flic.kr/p/2s6BABn

Unlike microbes that easily take up DNA, engineering plants requires first getting through their cell walls. Gene guns literally shoot plant tissue with nanoparticles covered in DNA, and Agrobacterium, a plant pathogen, acts as a trojan horse to the sneak DNA inside. For HudsonAlpha #plants #science

The Beehive 🐝✨ I’ve been fiddling with super-telephoto astrophotography a bit lately, and here’s my first stab at the M44 open cluster. It’s quite an adventure trying to get stars to retain their colors and convey something like their true brightness when you can’t use diffusion filters. 😅

Help my Secretary of Defense is talking like a wide receiver

Good morning! 🪶

Mariners baseball might be cursed again ngl

NGL they picked a great time to be as far from Earth as humanly possible

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

y'all.

Rocky's “Amaze, Amaze, Amaze” catchphrase was mentioned in NASA communications with the Artemis II crew.

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here" Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

What a beautiful moment.

I love what it does for breathing, but the atmosphere sure is a nuisance when it comes to astrophotography 😅 Turns out there’s a good reason you don’t usually go after targets at 15° altitude lol

Have a good flyby, Artemis II 🫡

YES! WE NEED MORE CARS IN COLOR!!!! www.caranddriver.com/news/a708666...

I painted the new image of Earth from Artemis!

Them shooting this at ISO 51200 is a good reminder for myself to not stress high ISO so much 😅

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Opening today at the Hollytrees Museum, Colchester, is an exhibition centred around "Juliasaurus": an Allosaurus-like theropod #dinosaur from the Morrison Formation. I was hired to produce a #paleoart reconstruction to accompany the skeleton. Tickets available now! @colmuseums.bsky.social

This is so, so well-articulated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am so excited to tell you that for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, human beings have left Earth orbit." -- Dr. Lori Glaze, opening the Flight Day 2 press conference

I am painting a series of 4-5 pieces from Project Hail Mary. Picked up a test print of the first one today! Is it a keeper? #SpaceArt

Yeah that’s cool

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Let’s fucking do this.

Artemis II lifts off

Amaze amaze amaze 🚀

Real NASCAR media experience hours here lol

Master of the Mangroves 🐊 NASA has quite the security guard standing watch over the path where the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge transitions into the restricted launch area of Kennedy Space Center. 🏷️: 📸🌿🐡🦎

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

If you're like wait what is going on today, I wrote a whole THING about it

NASA is fueling the new rocket that will send four astronauts to the moon, humanity’s first flight there since Apollo 17 in 1972. Follow live updates.

Well, that’s one way to keep moles out of our new garden. Probably gonna be the best photo I get of one for the next decade, too. 😅

Gotta be the only household in the country equally thrilled with the Mariners and Thunder pulling off late-game heroics lol

That random trip you were already gonna take to the hardware store is a great time to buy a perfectly nice classical bird feeder

IndyCar driver David Malukas knows ball

Not that I’m complaining, but it’s kind of wild this OKC-Boston game isn’t a national broadcast lol

Love to spend half a day in meetings because AI hallucinated a data source dependency that didn’t exist 🤪

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.
