Starship transiting the Sun this morning during Flight 14 — prior to this morning's mission, this has never been captured before with the world's largest and most powerful rocket.
I’ve ached over this shot for years, mainly for two reasons: what does methane exhaust look like silhouetted against the Sun, and how violent are the acoustic energy waves from 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster?
Well...now we have an answer.

Je n’ai plus les mots pour qualifier ce qui se passe actuellement en France.
Les prévisions météorologiques ne cessent de repousser l’échéance du retour des pluies. Désormais, presque aucune précipitation significative n’est attendue sur une grande partie du pays jusqu’au 6 octobre.
L’indice hydrique des sols français pourrait ainsi battre son record absolu de sécheresse, jusqu’à présent réservé au cœur des étés les plus extrêmes. Sauf que nous serons alors fin septembre, voire début octobre. Du jamais vu !
Et pendant ce temps, aucun répit pour nos forêts, nos écosystèmes et notre agriculture. Les sols continuent de s’assécher, les végétaux accumulent les stress et les conséquences se prolongent désormais bien au-delà de l’été. Et cela dure depuis mai.
La France traverse clairement une crise exceptionnelle.
The Kennedy Memorial is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy.
Matisse tapestries found throughout were gifted from France.
The massive starburst chandelier in the Opera Hall, and lights along walkways, were a gift from Sweden.
The record-breaking stage curtains were a gift from Japan. They had to build special looms to weave them because of how big they are.
The grounds are beautiful with displays of art.
This is what Trump is destroying.
Disparition de Donald Howkins (105 ans), un des derniers vétérans 🇬🇧 du débarquement de Normandie de 1944. Canonnier, il s’était engagé sous les drapeaux avec ses quatre frères, dont il était le dernier survivant.
Qu’il repose en paix et n’oublions pas leur courage.
@hidehi666 Well yes, there is that, but the way everyone was carrying on early doors I suppose i was expecting something different. Us mugs are always at the sharp end when it comes to paying!
Ewwwww. Maggots found in McCormick spices.
RFK Jr. promised the FDA cuts would not touch food safety inspectors. They didn’t. They took the lab scientists who test the food samples instead, and the staff whose job was telling you about a recall.
I went through the entire archive from the Artemis Il mission to create timelapses of many scenes experienced by the astronauts.
Many of these views are firsts of their kind.
While this was a ton of work, I see it as practice, as one day I plan on capturing these images myself.
Some say Russians are filth on the level of the shit left in the mouth of Putin's whore mother after a weekend she'd routinely spend servicing the local neighborhood alcoholics.
