More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Lors de l'échec du lanceur indien PSLV, la capsule de l'espagnole Orbital Paradigm a envoyé des données, restée attachée à l'étage supérieur. La capsule a subi un angle bien plus raide que ce que la mission nominale avait prévu (environ -20º au lieu de -5º).

Finished "There Is No Anti Memetics Division" by @qntm.org this morning. Thoroughly enjoyable.
This one will stay with me for sure. If not, I'll read it again one day.

Is social media just...boring now?
Social media is destroying democracy and accelerating idiocracy. But it's also just...really, really boring.

Happy 50th birthday to @esa.int
One of Europe’s greatest collaborative ventures in science and innovation.
ESA isn’t perfect — no institution is — but its contributions to space science, Earth observation, and international cooperation are profound.
