Toronto city centre, today. What a view! Easy to tell my exact altitude by lining up the tallest buildings with the horizon. The control tower let me turn left, just north of the ⁦@TourCNTower⁩ - my version of the EdgeWalk.

As #AuroraBorealis season fades, we’re highlighting this vibrant glow in the dark $2 – WONDER – Dance of the Spirits, from the 2017 My Canada, My Inspiration collection commemorating Canada’s 150th Anniversary, designed by Richmond, BC artist Timothy Hsia. What’s your favourite Canadian coin design?

Sigh … non-stop in the comments for this photo I read, “photoshop, cgi, fake, edited” 🙄

Fact of the matter - if someone was faking this, why would you leave a specular highlight from internal lens flare sitting in the middle of the frame? A competent compositor would catch that in review.

And if this was edited, you’d pull it into Camera Raw or Lightroom, remove that artifact with a spot heal, run a Luminar or Topaz noise reduction pass on the shadow regions, bring the exposure up, push the contrast with an S-curve, and add a saturation bump in the HSL panel to punch the blues and teals.

Instead we got this - flat, noisy in the darks, and a lens artifact dead center. Because this is a real, unedited frame straight from the camera.

The only “processing” involved was ingesting the NEF into Lightroom and exporting a JPEG for distribution. That’s a format conversion, not an edit.

But Deniers Gotta Lie and hallucinate about everything.

The photo is real, space travel is real, the mission was real.

Splashdown! The journey of more than 1.1 million kilometers concluded today. Jeremy Hansen and the Artemis II crew are back on Earth after becoming the first humans in over 50 years to venture to the Moon.

Welcome home, Jeremy!

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

NASA has 32 cameras on the Artemis II spacecraft. The top science priority during the Moon flyby was the four astronauts looking out the window and talking about what they saw.

NASA's lunar science lead confirmed it. What the crew says out loud about the Moon's surface matters more to the science team than anything the cameras capture. NASA trained this crew in Iceland's volcanic highlands and at an impact crater in Labrador, Canada, teaching them to read rock textures and spot geological details at 25,000 mph.

There's a reason NASA trusts human eyes over cameras. In 1972, Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt was walking near a small crater called Shorty when he scuffed the dirt with his boot. The soil underneath was orange. Schmitt was the only trained geologist to ever walk on the Moon, and he got so excited he blurred most of his own photos. That orange soil turned out to be tiny glass beads from a volcanic eruption 3.64 billion years ago, one of the biggest finds of the entire Apollo program. A boot and a pair of trained eyes caught what no camera did.

For this flyby, NASA sent the crew a final list of 30 surface targets. They killed all the cabin lights to cut window reflections. They worked in pairs, rotating every 55 to 85 minutes, calling out craters and lava flows while scientists at Johnson Space Center analyzed everything in real time. Pilot Victor Glover reported that the Moon's south pole, where NASA wants to land astronauts by 2028, looked "more jagged" than the north with much steeper terrain. One observation from a human eye at 4,070 miles could shape where the next crew touches down.

At 6:44 PM Eastern, Orion slipped behind the far side and went radio silent for 40 minutes. Four people, completely cut off from every other human alive, the Moon blocking every signal back to Earth. The last time humans experienced that was December 1972.

They broke the all-time distance record on the way. Apollo 13 held it for 56 years at 248,655 miles from Earth. Artemis II passed that mark and kept going to 252,760. Jim Lovell, who commanded Apollo 13 and held that record his whole life, died last August at 97, eight months before these four beat it. Before he died, Lovell recorded a message for the crew. "Welcome to my old neighborhood," he told them. "Don't forget to enjoy the view."

The crew named two craters during the flyby. One for their spacecraft, Integrity. The other, Carroll, for Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, a nurse who cared for newborns and died of cancer in 2020 at 46. Wiseman has raised their two daughters alone since. When Jeremy Hansen read the name to Mission Control, his voice broke. The crew hugged. Wiseman and Koch wiped tears. Then they got back to work, because they still had hours of Moon left to map with their eyes.

This both breaks my heart and fills me with joy.
Four very good people on a long, rare voyage together.
A fine example to us all.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

[Bev 🇨🇦 @Garnet_2203]

Shockingly, this is at a hospital in the GTA.

Let me be very clear,
this is NOT the fault of nurses, PSWs, or cleaning staff.

They are doing everything they can to hold together a public health care system that is being pushed to its limits.

This is what happens when public health care is underfunded.

I’m a senior. I paid into public health care my entire life.
My parents relied on it and they received quality, dignified care.

So why are we being asked to accept less from the same public health care system today?

What changed?

Years of cuts.

And let’s be honest since Doug Ford was elected, it’s been cut after cut after cut to public health care system.

• Hospital funding not keeping up with inflation
• Staffing shortages across public health care
• Wage caps on nurses and health care workers (Bill 124)
• Burnout driving people out of public health care
• ER closures due to lack of staff
• Expansion of private clinics instead of strengthening public health care

And now we’re seeing the consequences.

A public health care system stretched beyond capacity.
Hallway medicine.
Long wait times.
Exhausted staff doing everything they can to keep our health care functioning.

This is not a failure of workers.
This is a failure to protect out healthcare.

And instead of rebuilding public health care, Doug Ford is moving toward privatized delivery that only serves his rich friends and family.

And we’re seeing the same thing in our Public Education.

Cut.
Underfund.
Strain the system.

We should not accept that.

We don’t need less public health care.
We need to fund it, protect it, and rebuild it.

Because every Canadian no matter their income deserves strong, reliable public health care.

This is about dignity.
This is about fairness.
This is about the future of public health care in this country.
