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.
Aurora being visible on both poles in a single shot here also is a nice demonstration of the magnetic poles of the earth being off axis from the rotational "true" north-south axis.
Los astronautas de #ArtemisII colocan la tarjeta micro SD con los nombres de 5,6 millones de personas que fueron enviados entre septiembre 2025 y 27 de marzo dentro de Rise, su indicador de gravedad cero. Obviamente estamos todos con ellos ! 😄🚀🌖
To build a sustained human presence on the Moon, we are building @NASAMoonBase, prioritizing surface operations and scalable infrastructure.
- Frequent robotic landings and mobility testing including MoonFall drones
- Starting in 2027 nearly monthly cadence of equipment and rovers with scientific payloads landing on the Moon.
- Investments in power, communications, and surface mobility
- Scalable infrastructure to support long-term human presence
The objective is clear: build the foundation for an enduring lunar base and take the next step toward Mars.
@ErnestCalFab@MymDaniel92 @carpena_perez Pero hace falta llenar los tanques de propelentes para poder alunizar? Porque entiendo que tengan esa capacidad para salir a la órbita terrestre.
