Today I got a copy of @oregonstate.edu magazine featuring the work of Jamon Van Den Hoek. He and Corey Scher are the minds behind the remote sensing data that many news outlets around the world use to tell stories about Ukraine and Gaza.

Building the moon. mhinfographics.com/2026/04/23/b... Here is a little blog post featuring some nerdy stuff about that handmade 3D model you might have seen a few weeks ago.

This week, I’m in Berkeley to participate in the annual SND competition. Yesterday we kicked off the event with a session for students in which we explored creative ways to approach data for visual storytelling.

I compared the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts' arch concepts with international museum records and cultural databases. The scale of the President’ proposal for its ”triumphal arc” is significantly larger than many of the iconic landmarks in the world tinyurl.com/26rctmud 🎁

Artemis II live coverage: What will happen during the final hours of the Artemis II mission? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

We're live again for Orion's return. We have a few more graphics coming to wrap-up this mission. Here's something fun about our maps, you can can see NASA's projected altitude www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04... Cool map by Malika Khurana and Martín González Gómez.

Last night I glued myself to NASA’s transmission to gather notes on the Astronauts observations. The photos came a little later, but here’s what they saw: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This video [ tinyurl.com/bs8ytpap ] is just 1min 32sec long. But behind it lies a great deal of work: mapping, coding, interviews, data processing, 3D printing, and even manual labor—painting the model. Take a look to the final piece in the link above. 🚀🌝 To the moon and beyond!

Intense days, we’ve published many Moon pieces—including this one today in video format—for which I 3D-printed a model of the Moon exactly the size that astronauts see it from Orion. According to NASA, it looks like a basketball if you hold it at arm's length. tinyurl.com/bs8ytpap

It has been more than half a century since humans have been to the moon. The question is, why go back now? or even why go back at all? Here's our latest piece: tinyurl.com/3hnp9nvs 🎁 link #artemis-ii

Our Artemis II live coverage continues. You can follow it up here: www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04... In the meantime, here's the cover of the special supplement we published this week in the print edition of Times Science #moon

For the first time since 1972, NASA is sending astronauts to the moon. The mission, Artemis II, is scheduled to launch on Wednesday at 6:24 p.m. Eastern time. Follow live updates.

🌖 Artemis II will send four astronauts farther than any human has ever gone. Here’s what you need to know about their mission: tinyurl.com/bdeyx8n9 🎁

If conditions are right, in just a couple of days NASA will send four astronauts on a flyby journey to the Moon and back. Here is what you need to know about their mission: tinyurl.com/bdeyx8n9 🎁

After 10 weeks of a U.S. oil blockade, Cuba's grid is near collapse. Russia may be sending a lifeline: a state-owned tanker full of crude. But a Chinese-owned tanker, spooked by U.S. threats, abandoned its Cuba delivery and is now looking for a buyer elsewhere. w/ @jacknicas.bsky.social

Disinformation has long been a challenge, but the pervasiveness of A.I.-generated content has amplified it. The verification process can take more time now, and we’ve had to leave some stuff on the cutting-room floor because it didn’t meet our standards. —Elena Shao tinyurl.com/bp7bvekn

Wars and conflicts always bring impacts on our global transportation systems. Take a look at this article by my colleagues, Zach Levitt and Jacqueline Gu, which shows how airways have changed and their significant implications for travelers: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
