Artemis II Flight Day 4:

🚀 Crew completes manual piloting demonstration.
🌛 Crew receives Lunar imaging targets.
🤳 The Moon-bound quartet also took some crew selfies using one of Orion’s solar array wing cameras. The images should be sent to the ground in the coming days.

The Artemis II crew took this photo on day 4 of their journey to the Moon. In it, the Moon is oriented with the South Pole at the top and are beginning to see parts of the lunar far side. Orientale basin is on the right edge of the lunar disk in this image. Artemis II marks the first time that humans have seen the entire basin. The Artemis II crew will continue to observe Orientale from multiple angles as they approach the Moon and throughout the lunar flyby. Orientale is the textbook multi-ring impact basin used as a baseline to compare other impact craters on rocky worlds from Mercury to Pluto. Credit: NASA

The Artemis II crew is closing in on the Moon, getting an unearthly view: south at the top, lunar farside on the right.

This is the first time humans have had a complete view of the huge Orientale impact basin, visible at far right. 🧪🔭

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

New study (2025) shows computer access is the strongest predictor of beneficial internet use, surpassing smartphones & in-home internet. Households with a computer but no internet still fared better than those with internet but no computer; device quality explained additional variance 🧪

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955.

It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about

1) Recombination analysis of South African beef cattle
2)PRDM9 role in fertility of populations from African descent

Well, let’s see how this goes
