Do you ever think about how they made 2001: A Space Odyssey before we knew what the whole Earth looked like in color so they just kind of had to make their best guess?

Glorious earth rise from the far side of the moon, taken by NASA Artemis II crew. We are in the most Octavia Butler of times, including all the... earth stuff.

(seriously, Did-All-Three-Degrees-At-Public-Schools Club, let's celebrate Christina, Artemis II pilot Victor Glover has **four** degrees from public universities, & Jeremy Hansen got his two degrees from a public Canadian university. We won't mention the fancy schools Reid Wiseman attended.)

This is my treatment of an Artemis II photo of the Sun about to emerge from behind the Moon, with the corona displaying it's radial streamers. This is an extreme version of an Earthly total solar eclipse, with the Moon also covering the Sun. The diffuse glow near the bright corona is the innermost Zodiacal Light, whose glow was later seen to shine behind the entire Moon. The coronal details were brought out by sharpening and merging such treatments of the inner and outer corona.
Some of the highlight photos from the Lunar flyby are coming in. Here is an outstanding photo from the passage behind the Moon showing the Sun about to rise, with the Solar corona preceding it. I have processed the photo to bring out the coronal details, and removed the window reflections.

There’s a planet-destroying asteroid bearing down on Earth and I’m just wondering how you think investors should position themselves?

American Exceptionalism has reached peak absurdity. Only the United States has a violent police force. No other country or people on Earth have ever had to deal with a police force willing to use violence on protesters.

How very beautiful are these? Victor Glover was right. Together on that fragile blue globe we are but one thing. Let’s act accordingly. #Artemis2 #Artemis

The cover of JITTERBUG by Gareth L Powell features a stylised rocket silhouette at the centre of an orrery, with a space suited figure dangling in its wake
Jitterbug has been out a month now, and it's been attracting some great reviews. And given the current interest in the Artemis II mission, I should probably mention that the story's partly set on the moon!
