Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

@soccershade11 @UAPLuigi They know how to keep secrets and follow orders! 🤔

A moment you could easily miss… but never forget. 🌍

From the International Space Station, our crew caught a faint streak of light slicing through Earth’s atmosphere —
the return of Artemis II.

At first, it was just a bright glow…
then a long, wispy trail as the spacecraft tore through the upper atmosphere at incredible speed.

The Orion capsule itself wasn’t visible —
but the trail it left behind told the whole story.

This just in—more images of Earth from Artemis II! 🤩

This view from @astro_reid shows the divide between night and day, also known as the terminator, as seen from the Orion capsule.

Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad.

I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured

I miss @ArtBell51. 👽

The Milky Way as seen from @Space_Station, with stars as points, rising sun, and cities as golden streaks below.

Taken with Nikon Z9, Sigma 14mm f1.4 lens, 15 seconds, f1.4, ISO 6400, with homemade orbital sidereal drive to compensate for orbital pitch rate (4 degrees/min)

@DJIGlobal I will record all the things. Yes, all of them.

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

"The Touch of Terran Skies" is an ultra high dynamic range photo of this morning's Total Lunar Eclipse, which I captured using a number of instruments to reveal not just the incredible color on the lunar surface, but the deep space in the Cosmic Background.

@realOhBeDave @The_Astral_ @VettedPodcast It is probably just a larger version of the LDSS Nauvoo. 😋 #TheExpanse

Here's my final image of the year- a detailed true color portrait of The Great Orion Nebula. Visible to the naked eye to the entire world during winter months, this is a gorgeous target for astronomers of all skill levels.

Happy new year!

@gregormarkham @ehat @BradEBonham I am familiar with that podcast, thanks for the suggestion. It isn't for me though. I do believe that everyone has very unique and personal experiences (also with commonalities). Some choose to return. For many, life is so much richer and more meaningful on the outside.

[Dustin Wilkins @DustinWilkins]

@TheCinesthetic I love this film! I re-watch it at least once a year!

[Dustin Wilkins @DustinWilkins]

@TRHLofficial @grok That's just called "lifelong rent" with that kind of mortgage term.

[Dustin Wilkins @DustinWilkins]

@ehat @BradEBonham Kind of you! I will also be here to chat with you in the future if you are ever knee-deep in deconstruction and need someone to talk to. It can be very helpful. 😊
