NASA's Artemis II: Why a 2016 Nikon D5 DSLR is Going to the Moon Artemis II launches April 1 with a 2016 Nikon D5 DSLR, GoPros, and smartphones aboard. We look at why NASA's newest Moon mission is flying decade-old camera tech — and what's coming next.

NASA is launching humans around the Moon on April 1 — and the camera of choice is a 2016 Nikon D5 DSLR. Here's why old-school wins in deep space, and what's coming next for the Nikon Z 9 HULC. 📷🌕 buff.ly/pIMmQtG

A detailed photograph of the nearly full Moon centered against a deep black night sky. The lunar surface shows sharp crater detail, bright ejecta rays, and darker maria regions, with the Moon isolated in the frame and surrounded by empty space.

This stunning space time lapse ‘shows a little of everything’ Orbiting 250 miles above Earth, the views from the International Space Station (ISS) are second to none, and always make a huge impact on astronauts lucky enough to stay there. NASA’s Zena Cardman, who returned form the ISS in January after a visit lasting just over five months, this week shared a gorgeous time lapse […]

A high-resolution crescent moon against a black sky, showing sharp crater detail and surface texture created by stacking many exposures.

120 frames stacked into one razor-sharp view of the Moon. Craters, ridges, and shadows frozen in insane detail—proof that our nearest neighbor is anything but dull. #MoonPhotography #Astrophotography #NightSky #SpacePhotography

We Just Photographed Planets 41 Light-Years Away... Here's How The images are stunning, but the science behind them is even crazier. We break down the revolutionary methods astronomers use to find planets outside our solar system (Exoplanets). It all comes down to two simple observations: The Wiggle: Why a distant star's wobble tells us a giant planet is pulling it. The Twinkle: How a tiny, regular dip in brightness reveals a planet passing in front. The technology is now so precise we can capture actual photos! Watch until the end to see an amazing 7-year time-lapse of four planets orbiting a star 41 light-years away (HR 8799). This is the cutting edge of human discovery.

Forget the wiggles and twinkles (though those are cool!). We're now directly photographing planets 41 light-years away. See how we went from theory to photograph! #ExoplanetHunting #SpacePhotography #KeckTelescope #ScienceCred #Astrophysics

A full disk solar image captured with a monochrome camera and colored orange. The surface is dotted with numerous sunspot clusters all across the visible area.

As the sun angle gets lower in the sky, my time window for solar imaging from my primary telescope spot is getting shorter and shorter. This image was taken on October 25th.
