A Lunar Lander’s Busy Day: Eclipse Photos and Rock Collecting

1st day of (Northern Hemisphere) spring, so time to re-re-re-post the best #dataviz I’ve ever done. 365 images of the terminator taken at exactly 6:00 a.m. over the course of a year. Originally made for the NASA Earth Observatory: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/52248...

The current planetary alignment is more of a loose parade (the planets are spread across about 120 degrees of sky). But now is a great time to enjoy bright Jupiter, Mars, and Venus; with a little effort, you can spot naked-eye Saturn & Mercury too. 🔭🧪 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/s...
