COMING SOON: Come Awake: Five Original Fantasy Stories in the Tales from Karneesia On June 12th… The land of Karneesia has lacked wild magic for centuries, but now the land is stirring…

“As a working writer, but also in my past existence as a theoretical physicist, I have made something of a life from hoarding feelings, phrases and images in my mind then waiting for just the right moment to recall them, glue them together, and observe“ — @kpc.bsky.social 💙📚🧪⚛️

Computers don’t tell you this any more because it’s no longer true

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

I took this photo of Artemis 2 with a TLR film camera from the 1950s @spacescout.bsky.social

Hold on to Moon Joy www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...

DESI finished its originally planned survey last night!! ..and will keep going :) I made a cake to celebrate. 🌌🔭 @desisurvey.bsky.social

I love that you’ve shown off the Thermal Blanket Lab. Years back I organised and ran a space artists’ workshop at Matra Marconi in Stevenage, UK. The Thermal Blanket Cleanroom was my favourite experience and I created a hand sewn quilt to celebrate the craftsmanship and high tech materials used.

Some reflections on Artemis II. I wanted to put together some of my thoughts, and collect some of the moments that stood out most, before they faded. invertingvision.com/2026/04/11/t...

Starting my campaign for Moon joy to be @merriam-webster.com's word/phrase of the year! #MoonJoy #ArtemisII

Thanks for sharing our Moon joy!

Needed to memorialize my Moon joy and take an art break during this amazing but exhausting Artemis II mission

Wow. This is so evocative - really makes you imagine looking down from space with Yuri Gagarin's eyes .... #YurisNight

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

I miss my 24/7 space show 🥲 What an amazing week filled with science, space, and art! Taking a few much needed days off, but I plan to make a couple more Artemis minis before I release them next month 🫶

Agreed. NASA PAOs, comms, social media, everybody who has been working this tirelessly on camera and behind the screens, you all are ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS.

I'm moonscrolling

It represents the best of us. It was a peaceful mission that constituted an international effort; the ESA was involved and built the service module, there was a Canadian astronaut onboard... It's a glimpse, even in dark times, of all we *can* be both as a nation and, more importantly, as a species.

Science is good. We should fund it.

Imagine returning from the moon and no one will answer your calls 😂😂😂

"Integrity, Houston. Please confirm you are pushing the PTT on the radio." I about died there.

The Artemis II crew is back on Earth safely! Some quick sketches from the SER.

Y’all if you are not tuned in to NASA’s live YouTube stream, now is the time to stop what your are doing and get over there. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...

helloooo, I am a space traveler

Thanks for sharing our Moon joy!

I love @bettinaforget.bsky.social's original Women with Impact series

we are all we've got in this vastness

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

This little phrase stuck in my mind all day, so I cartooned it.

It’s time for Mike Johnson and John Thune to do their jobs and reconvene Congress. Recess doesn’t get to continue while Trump is threatening to annihilate 100 million people. If Thune and Johnson refuse to do their jobs, Schumer and Jeffries must bring Democrats back to DC to end this war.

🚨🚨🚨 Congress must return from recess and use every tool it can to stop Trump from committing war crimes and unilaterally launching a nuclear war. That includes impeachment. Call your reps. NOW. 🔥📞🔥 Info, numbers, and script @ 5calls.org

Ngl the other ones didn’t have a huge impact on me… But I’m never gonna be mad at the juxtaposition of the spacecraft we build with human hands to chase human dreams and the worlds that draw us onward

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Um OKAY. Breathtaking photos from the Artemis II crew's lunar flyby and eclipse viewing

Today was a joyful day to be a woman in science. May we all look forward to the boundless joy when it is over (and it will be over, someday).

Crying happy tears as the Moon guided me down to Johnson for my shift analyzing the data the Artemis II astronauts sent down after the flyby

I just realized it's Artemis II lunar flyby day AND International Asexuality Day! Confirmed: the Moon is a queer icon!

FULL MOON JOY STILL!

I cannot wait for the pictures 🤯 What a crazy experience to be an external observer to the motion of the earth, moon, and sun. Most of us can never separate from the Earth, but those astronauts are getting to watch this cosmic dance from a very special seat

“Something that’s really awesome up here…We now have the moon and the earth in window 3 simultaneously. The moon is a gibbous and the earth is a crescent, and I’m guessing in about 45 minutes we’ll have two identical crescents as we change our position in the universe” - #ArtemisII crew 🔭🧪

This is such a lovely little speech from NASA's Dr. Marie Henderson, Artemis II Lunar Science Deputy Lead Source: www.instagram.com/stories/nasa...

I love that NASA has basically scheduled “choose your own adventure” time for the crew during the lunar observation period.

Honestly my favorite part of the Artemis livestream is when they cut to the science team at mission control. Look at them running around their little nerd aquarium, scribbling down data, doing science! Hell yeah! Learn new things about the moon!

Artemis II crew describe and provisionally name a couple of craters on the Moon: the Integrity crater after their spacecraft and this historic mission, and the Carroll crater in honor of Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman. ℹ️ www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio... #Artemis 🧪🔭

the breathtaking perspective from space contrasted with the devastating reality of earth really hits hard.

Some lunar vocabulary in case you're following along with the #Artemis II flyby: * albedo: reflectiveness (high albedo=very shiny) * mare/maria(plural): from Latin for "sea," dark regions on the Moon, which are dried lava basins * terminator: the line of the transition between sunlight & darkness

“I wanna channel everything that you guys are feeling right through my eyes and heart. It is awesome to see this side of the moon. You guys made us excited for this day and we couldn’t appreciate it any more.” - Christina Koch to science team lead Kelsey Young

Wow, that's Mare Oriental on the left, a huge impact basin surrounded by mutiple rings of hills (tyocal for big impacts). That's very difficult to see from Earth becaue it's on the lunar far side, but easy enough if you're on the way to the moon and heading around back.
