An embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial view landscape. It depicts an apple orchard in bloom in the centre, allotments to the left and sheep in their field at the bottom. Train tracks go past the top of the orchard and allotment.

Sewn train tracks past an apple orchard (to the left).

An angled view of a sewn vegetable allotment surrounded by rough land, trees and with train tracks to the left.

An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. 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. Credit: NASA

Whoa 🤯

The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

A half-Earth, looking with the South Pole towards the top of the image. The surface of our planet is mainly blue (ocean) and white (clouds)—both of which are forms of water. Ocean glint is visible at lower left.

Another arresting photo of our home planet from the Artemis II crew.

This one was taken by Reid Wiseman after the translunar injection burn.

The image is inverted relative to how we normally see Earth; the landmass at centre is Australia, and New Zealand is to its left.

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch:

This is Victor. We are going for our families.
This is Christina. We are going for our teammates.
This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Peut-être qu'il fallait commencer par ne pas venir faire preuve de suffisance sous le post de quelqu'un qui ne te connaît pas et qui n'avait pas demandé ton jugement.

Mais bon ça demande d'être capable de prendre un peu de recul, ce dont tu sembles incapable quand on lit ta TL de boomer.

holy shit

🙏 thanks a lot, it always warm my heart seeing this kind of appreciation for my little project

If I understood correctly it is both dredging but also the natural currents (after the initial dredging) that widened this pass after a hurricane made it appear first

(but that's just what I gathered from reading here and there about this zone, I could be wrong tbh)
