Ready… set… Earth! 🌎
As Artemis II flew around the far side of the Moon, the crew captured a new view of home. These images show Earthset, when Earth dips below the lunar horizon. Parts of Australia & Oceania are visible, while the dark side of Earth is experiencing nighttime.

On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

10 years ago I was annoyed and embarrassed seeing people celebrate Ambedkar Jayanti on the streets of Pune. Oh how stupid I was to feel that way!

Here I am 10 years later. Loud and Proud! Celebrating the great man! 💙 Happy Ambedkar Jayanti! #JaiBhim

She just dangled there. She dangled there as if she was a slab of meat recently slaughtered by the butcher.

A child dangled at the side of a building as her body nearly cut in half. This is the stage of genocide we are in: children’s lifeless bodies dangle for a “diversion.”

People could just make beautiful things, we could take care of each other, we could study what we wish, we could go where we want to go, and we could share.

The softness of Palestinian men while they are faced with such brutality and oppression is unlike anything I've ever seen. The mercy they show, the loudness of their love, the care.

May they be enveloped in mercy and love here and forever.
