Earth setting behind the Moon. Shot by the Artemis II crew on April 6 2026. Just a slim blue-white crescent of our planet sliding down behind all those gray craters and rough lunar hills. Black space everywhere else. Reminds me of the Apollo 8 Earthrise. And makes you stop and stare.

On Dec. 24, 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission, astronaut Bill Anders photographed Earth, giving us the iconic image dubbed Earthrise.

Two years later, #EarthDay was born to honor our home planet.

Over the weekend, a zebra foal fell into a pit along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway. His herd still nearby. Our SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Vet Unit pulled him to safety, gave him a health check, and reunited him with his mother. 14,300 patients across Kenya. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/projects/vet...

Back in July 2015 New Horizons sent us the first really close shots of Pluto and its moons. The team took that real data plus digital elevation models and turned them into these cool flyover videos — basically letting us “fly” over the surface closer than the spacecraft itself ever did. This still comes from the "Soaring over Pluto" flyover. You’re looking at tall water-ice mountains rising up from the big smooth plains of frozen nitrogen in Sputnik Planitia. The colors are mostly burnt brown and bright white, with some orange patches and darker rough areas off in the distance.

Ever get that weirdly satisfying feeling when something finally goes way past its original plan?

Well, #NewHorizons just did exactly that. After 20+ years since launch, it's now farther from Pluto than it was back in 2006.

Really wild when you think about it.🔭 🧪 ⚛️
