What an amazing view of Earth from Artemis II.
-
To be clear: We're basically looking at an eclipse of the Sun, by the Earth.
This is the night side of our planet, illuminated by the light of the full Moon, seen in a long exposure. Wow!
Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!

@vk6flab Or, you could see the pro version the Canadian Space Agency had already made:
https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/@ZenHeathen @vk6flab Thank you! I hadn't seen the CSA one, I'll set that one up on my wall display. The fan-made one seems to have the wrong data (it's significantly ahead of where the mission actually is in both MET and distance) at least on my machines.

The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.
And yes, there are stars!

@coreyspowell Must be magical to see it in person. Kinda makes me sad I'll never get to.

@coreyspowell Trump/USA wants to show us the precious blue marble that they are destroying via climate change denial? They dont care about the planet.

@coreyspowell
I wonder! What are flat-earthers thinking these days??They won't ever care about any proof. If some proof could convince them, it would have already, there are tons of them.
Anything that contradicts their model is simply labeled as "fake". AI will probably make it worse.

Here is another version of the marvelous new Artemis II view of Earth, taken just minutes later.
This shot uses a shorter exposure, emphasizing the night side of our planet as it eclipses the Sun.
@coreyspowell ominous. People on that planet are up to no good

@coreyspowell I know nothing about space so please help. If we have a gazillion satellites orbiting why can’t we see any?
@tompsettchris @coreyspowell They're too small. And (at the moment at least) they'e really pretty far apart from each other.

@coreyspowell Amazing.
If only we would stop spending trillions of war and more on exploration.

What I see in this image is a little blue ball, that in all the reachable universe, is the sole place humanity (and so much else!) can ever *thrive*, without the intense use of inherently fragile and fallible high tech adaptations, if then. Yet, year by year the dominant civilizations here are so busy-- arrogantly destroying it's life-giving biosphere and the incredibly beautiful web of life that depends upon it. And all for greed. More, more more. When will it ever be enough?
@kitkat_blue @coreyspowell I totally agree with you. It will be enough when Planet Earth gives up or when someone destroys it to a point of no return.

@coreyspowell The joy we get from all the cool pictures and videos makes space exploration worth every penny spent realizing them.

Digital iso is a revolution. HDR, amazing capture.

@coreyspowell Note that this is 180 rotated relative to the previous one. North is bottom left.

@coreyspowell I'm currently listening to the remastered version of Soleily's "Renatus" on my phone, and it feels and sounds apt for these breath-stealing outer space shots. Even the thumbnails for its music-only Youtube uploads evoke the same, too!

@coreyspowell this image is rotated by pi radians

@martinvermeer @coreyspowell both were taken in the same orientation, which you can see at the NASA link. The preview in the post is rotated to the “correct” orientation.

@coreyspowell I like how if we zoom in, it gets really clear that when we see a thin bright line half around the globe in those videos, it's limited to the atmosphere. I had never understood why that happened, until now.
