The "Hello World" photo from #ArtemisII did not come alone. Here's an animation put together by fredk of multiple exposures (UMSF After Party https://discord.com/channels/1290524907624464394/1305654861496451182) showing a receding Earth in moonshine.

Crank up the brightness and behold lightning in Africa & South America, shifting aurorae at the poles... & satellite glints all over the place, most visible at 3 & 9 o'clock 🤯

I remember ppl suggesting using stuff like this to do SETI...
