With #Starlink trails and approaching clouds I only got 48 minutes of usable data on M101 in WV. @JoanneFOX5 can you do something about the ☁️ in Milton when I get home so I can get more pictures? #astrophotography 🔭
This is one of the greatest astronaut crews of all time. Hard to compare to historical greats like Gemini 8, Apollo 13, Soyuz T-13, or STS-31. But certainly Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen are setting a freaking high bar for the Artemis era.
"Welcome to my old neighborhood." Our @NASAArtemis II astronauts woke up on the sixth day of their mission to a special message recorded in 2025 by astronaut Jim Lovell, the pilot of Apollo 8.
The photographs being captured RIGHT NOW by the Artemis II astronauts will go down in history. I cannot wait to see what they capture! Absolute chills!!
History in the making
In this new image from our @NASAArtemis II crew, you can see Orientale basin on the right edge of the lunar disk. This mission marks the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes.
A lot of conspiracy accounts love pretending the Van Allen belts are some unbeatable force field. They never mention the part that matters: the belts aren’t uniform. They have weak regions, gaps, and low‑density zones. NASA literally plots the flight path to skim the thinnest section so the spacecraft spends only minutes in the mildest radiation. That’s it. No magic. No cover‑up. Just physics and trajectory design. The dose astronauts get is lower than a CT scan. The only thing “deadly” here is how confidently bad info spreads online.
Blessed with the opportunity to watch the @NASAArtemis launch with the fine folks of @LMSpace! Best quote of the day happened right after booster sep: “We get to keep our jobs!” 🤣🤣🤣

Anduril now has over 400 telescopes around the globe. Advanced space sensing software provides real-time focal plane processing to identify & track objects. Think Sentry Tower software, but for space.
