Feeling me some good old-fashioned night-sky vibes tonight, with twinkling stars, crescent moons, and, yes, the ever-faint airglow. My own digital painting, "Airglow of the night".

Earth shadow
This was from a trip in 2021, we pulled over on the side of the road to watch the moon set, we woke up around 3am to hit the road because it was way too cold during the night in Utah.

Today the #Moon 
continues in #Scorpio 
, where we...
connect with a deeper truth. 
the Moon's opposition to Uranus
reminds us that the comforts of the past 
must make way for the new routines of the future. 
Engaging with the future 
is a way
to ward off hopelessness, 
and remind yourself of your dreams.

What was the first human-made object to break the sound barrier? And why do we always see the same side of the #moon? Mark Rober tackles these questions and more through creative experiments.
In this fast-paced #video, he goes up in a hot air balloon, tests liquid density with soda cans, drops metal in mercury, and even rides on top of a moving train to demonstrate scientific principles.

, it was #LEO. Now, the frontier is out near the #asteroid belt, and the #Moon and #Mars are becoming part of where humanity just hangs out, maybe not yet as people, but with #robots. Meanwhile, #LEO is so normalized that it doesn’t take a #SpaceAgency to deal with it. You just call #SpaceX. Thousand years from now, perhaps more people live off Earth 
than on it" https://www.cearkadia.edu.pl/jonathan-mcdowell-on-retiring-from-harvard-and-leaving-the-u-s

I had never seen that crescent Earth image until early this year when a follower very helpfully pointed out to me a part of the Lavochkin website:
https://www.laspace.ru/ru/activities/projects/
which had the image. There are plenty of images in those pages in the Gallery section for each mission, not all labelled correctly. This one was mislabelled as from Luna 16. Here it is.

The 4th section of the Lunokhod 2 route map brings us well into the hills, and into a crater called Margo, about 750 m across. At the south edge of the map the rover tracks show a struggle to climb out of the crater, eventually resolved by driving east, more diagonally up the slope. Reports that Lunokhod 2 imaged a crescent Earth above the hills might refer to this location, where the slope might allow the cameras to see Earth to the southwest. #maps #moon #luna21 #lunokhod2
