New shot of Earth from behind the Moon 🌎
📷 Artemis II
Posts by d ♈︎
The Moon, backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse, is photographed by NASA’s Orion spacecraft on April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II mission. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars.
I really can't stop looking at this photo - We usually think of space as being entirely empty and dark, but our sun has a lot of dust around it, giving the moon this eerie backlit glow.
And four people really have been there and witnessed this yesterday, absolutely blows my mind! #Artemis 🔭🧪

At twilight the moons Io (top) and Europa were lined up on the right side of Jupiter, making it hard to determine which one was casting its shadow on the planet. A little patience and the smaller size of the shadow (and Stellarium) made it obvious it was Europa. Details in ALT. #astrophotography

Is it time for whimsy, adventures, water, fishing, & tan lines yet?

Ppl always miss me when I leave. Whether that's a friendship, a relationship, a job etc. You're going to miss this energy & the genuineness I brought & like clockwork everything I left will come back around to regain access or to apologize. Can't fill that void up the same way so don't mess up.🤷🏽♀️💫
Happy bday to all my Aries & here's to another lap around the sun to me 04•01 𖤓•𓃵.𖥔 ݁ ˖✦ ‧₊˚
Here's to being the 1st zodiac sign. The trailblazer. The boss. Here's to our whimsical kid like wonder. Our loyalty. Our intuition. Our passion. Our honesty. Our sensitivity. May our fire never diminish.♈︎
Update ☆: Love when spring hits. The suns out. Days start getting longer. And my birthdays around the corner. Life starts feeling magical again
Feeling: Whimsical 🧚🏽♀️✨️💜
Relatives r annoying & exhausting. They stay in ur business & spread it but don't make any effort to actually be in ur life & have a relationship. They're weird & have one sided animosity towards u. But act mad & play victim when called out abt it & wonder why we in fact DON'T have a relationship.
Update ☆: Life ain't real fr. This world one big joke
Feeling: Like I'm in the truman show 📺👁
I think Sinners also deserved Best Picture, but Michael B. Jordan beating Timothee Chalamet after the latter’s “I deserve an Oscar comment is so fucking poetic.
plsss 😂😂😂
My beautiful Black ass will be relaxing all day. I’m not leaving the comfort of my bed. I love this for me 💗
Checking it out right now! :)
Update ☆:
It's the year of the Aries, and I'm buckling up for the ride. Things are already moving fast, and I need to trust in the universe. It always has my back. Accepting nothing but things that are aligned with me and that help me grow. 🤞🏼🌌
Feeling: Nervited 😅🙃
I know i got old cuz i almost can't stand milk chocolate anymore. Gimme that dark stuff!
Time to play the game “how many times and I gonna say I need to go eat” before I finally get up and do it
The mercury retrograde JUST started and has your girl all discombobulated
😂😂😂 because they really need to back tf up fr
People who defend him are missing the point of why he should apologize. However intentional or not, a white person especially saying the N-word like that contributes to an environment that is more unsafe for Black people.
It's not ableism to expect a (supposedly) decent person do the decent thing.
I’m going to send that long ass text. Idc if you read it or not. I said what I said.
Another Black History Month Rule:
Black folks are not required to be the bigger person ALL THE FUCKING TIME!! If you want to know why we’re “always so angry” it’s being told we should constantly think of the feelings of other people WHEN WE ARE THE ONES BEING DISRESPECTED!
Someone said "there is no bottom to the depravity in the Epstein files"
Baybeeee there is no bottom to the depravity of white supremacy
That's all this is. When you stop trying to decouple whiteness from power you'll see what Black folks have been trying to get you to see.
Every day I turn more and more into my mommy, and I love that for me. She's THAT girl. My favorite girl. My blueprint. I aspire to be half as great as her. I love her more than she knows 💜
Dont fuck with me, ill hold you accountable
Happy Pisces SZN 🐠♓️ to my fav sign (yes I even put my sign 2nd to y'alls bc real recognize real 😂).

Stay beautiful & have an amazing szn 🩵
Love,
An April Aries ♈︎
You're honing & creating a WHOLE life & personality. You're their guide forever. U have the audacity to bring them into this stupid world for 1. But have another world inside ur home that's f'd up as well? Selfishness is not for ppl with kids idc ur mom & dad 4LIFE. Grow up. If not stop having them.
People don't think about the children they're bringing or already have brought into this world enough for me. How they carry on, the life they lead, their traumas, their character, etc are going to affect these kids. And they're not changing or trying to heal ANY of it.
