A tightly cropped Hubble view of a vast star-forming region known as the Trifid Nebula. The top left is bright blue. Brown and amber colors run from top right through the center in irregular, overlapping lines to the bottom-center. At bottom right, the view is almost black. Tiny, amber-colored stars appear throughout the scene. Toward the left there is a prominent brown shape that looks like a head with two horns. The left horn points left and is wavy. The right horn is triangular and points up. The brown dust continues, flowing down, as if along a back, and up toward the top right. A prominent line, about the same length as the left horn, appears below the middle of the body, and changes from orange to red. A small, separate semi-transparent pillar is left of the head. A few slightly larger, blue foreground stars with four diffraction spikes appear throughout.

NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE TRIFID NEBULA TO START OFF ITS BIRTHDAY WEEK!!! 🌌

NEW VIDEO OF EARTHSET TAKEN BY REID WISEMAN WITH HIS CELL PHONE DURING ARTEMIS II!!!! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

stressed? breathe and look at our beautiful planet for a bit.

Earth half-illuminated in space.

“every triumph, every tear, every birthday cake, every disappointment, every skinned knee, every dust off, every draped flag, every first dance, every missed flight, every shift change, every twirl hug, every wave goodbye, every love note, every human. us. you. all we have.” - christina koch 🌎

i have a big audience there that i didn’t want to abandon and i just avoid the bad parts of it

also hello new followers!!!

sorry yall 😭😭 i’ve been spam posting on twitter about artemis that i forgot to post on here but i am still here and love yall 🫶

GIVE THE ENTIRE MILITARY BUDGET TO NASA 🗣️🗣️

A crescent Earth rises over the horizon of the Moon, which is cutting into Earth's bottom-right edge. The Moon itself is mostly in shadow. The Orion spacecraft is partially visible on the image's far left. Credit: NASA

OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS NEW IMAGE FROM ARTEMIS II WITH THE CRESCENT EARTH BEHIND THE MOON!!!!

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

WE DID IT!!!!! WE SENT PEOPLE TO THE MOON AND BACK AFTER OVER HALF A CENTURY!!!

Earth is a small crescent against the background of space.

the artemis ii crew captured this incredible view.
that tiiiiiiny crescent is earth. all of us. everything and everyone you’ve ever known and loved is there.

The four Artemis astronauts embrace inside the Orion Capsule. American and Canadian flags, along with equipment and hardware are surrounding them.

This is such a great photo.

Probably the best of all the #ArtemisII photos.

Diversity, international collaboration, humanities, science, art, engineering, the desire for exploring, the drive of human curiosity, the reward of years of dedicated hard work, and just pure joy.

It's all in there.

THE ARTEMIS II CREW IS HALFWAY HOME!!

The top part of the Moon is illuminated. The gray cratered surface stands out against the blackness of space. The Earth appears in the far distance as an upside-down crescent moon shape. There is some lens flare in the top part and center of the image. Credit: NASA

okay i change my mind, THIS is one of the best and most beautiful images from artemis ii

The Moon, backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse, is photographed by NASA\u2019s Orion spacecraft. 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\u2019s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

woke up and still thinking about these

A starfield filled with thousands of stars and shining clouds of dust. The Milky Way\u2019s elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Spanning more than 100,000 light-years, Earth is located along one of the galaxy\u2019s spiral arms, about halfway from the center. Credit: NASA

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

all this excitement for space and trump still wants to slash nasa’s budget to fund wars.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE SEEN FROM THE MOON BY ARTEMIS II!!!

THEY WERE THE FIRST HUMANS TO HAVE THIS VIEW!!

Earth appearing as a bright crescent behind the Moon’s surface

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

The Moon against the black of space. The right half is heavily marked with darker splotches and craters, including a very large patch that fills most of the upper right quadrant. The left side of the Moon, which is not visible from Earth, is much more uniformly gray. It has small divots and craters, but they do not change the surface color. There is one prominent darker spot between 7 and 8 o'clock on the Moon's surface.

today, 4 humans are going to break the record for the furthest distance traveled from earth.

Peering out one of the four windows near the display console on the Orion spacecraft, the Earth is illuminated by the blackness of space and grows smaller as the crew journeys closer to the Moon. This image was taken by an Artemis II crew member on the fifth day of the mission. Credit: NASA

this is the last look at earth before artemis ii reaches the moon!!!

THEY WILL HAVE THEIR CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE MOON TOMORROW!!

NEW IMAGE OF THE MOON FROM ARTEMIS II!!!!

Taken 3 April 2026, the Artemis II crew is en route to the Moon. This photo shows the Orion spacecraft with the Moon in the distance, as captured by a camera on the tip of one of its solar array wings.

THE ARTEMIS II CREW IS NOW CLOSER TO THE MOON THAN THEY ARE TO EARTH!!

4x4” acrylic painting of Earth

I painted the new image of Earth from Artemis!

A screenshot of an article talking about cuts to the 2027 NASA budget

you would think sending people to the moon again after over 50 years would have the opposite effect, but then again our country loves to spend money on war and destroying the planet!!

Earth as seen from the Orion capsule. It is divided sharply in half, with a line running diagonally from the 11 o'clock to the 4 o'clock. The lower left half is a bright pale blue. Its surface is covered with swirly, puffy white clouds, with texture indicating different thicknesses. The upper right half is dark, with no illumination from the Sun. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

One-third of Earth peeking through the window of the Orion capsule. The planet is a dreamy pale blue, swirling with white clouds and reflected sunlight. Although Earth only fills a fraction of the image it is the brightest object in the image by far. The capsule window is surrounded by a thick frame held in place with bolts, reminiscent of a heavy duty airplane window. It is dark in the capsule, but the outlines of straps and various components of the capsule are visible. Brighter white components are visible in the upper right corner. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

PICTURES OF EARTH FROM ARTEMIS II!!

is anyone else feeling insane that they’re actually alive to witness humans returning to the moon after over half a century

same moon, new era 🚀🌕
