Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

Make new friends, but keep the old.

A new photo captures the Moon's near side on the right (the side we see from Earth, identifiable by its dark splotches) and its far side on the left. The Artemis II crew are the first to see the far side with human eyes.

The weather will be cool to start December, but the pattern by mid-December favors a shift to warmer than average temperatures. Rains this month may bring some drought relief for the Coastal Plains, but drought is forecast to continue for most of South-Central Texas. #txwx

Looking through the video footage of Hurricane Melissa a bit more closely and it turns out there was some lightning visible even during the daytime over on the left side
