[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...

This devastating, emotional, 2-minute clip of the oral evidence from Professor Kevin Fong (@drkevinfong.bsky.social) discussing his hospital visits at the height of the second wave perhaps explains it best. 7/19

🧵The Covid Inquiry’s latest reports have made one thing brutally clear: the first year of the pandemic - and especially the second Covid wave in winter 2020/21 - was devastating.

Much of that devastation was avoidable.

This 🧵: impact on NHS, impact on bereaved, and avoidable harm. 1/19

A lot of deaths and unnecessary suffering could have been avoided.. it didn’t have to be like this.. please take the time to read and get angry

2. Trump and allies knew Russia was helping them

3. Trump and allies obstructed Mueller’s investigation

Trump can and should still be impeached for this.
