@Natasha_Jay Do you know if it's possible to buy a print of this?
@Natasha_Jay just 48 more and they get a free coffee
@Natasha_Jay That is so cool. What is up with the purple? Guess I need to read the article.

@Natasha_Jay

The explanation of why the moon "appears as a squished ellipse" is a bit misleading. The cause is not some imaginary bending of light (wtf?), but rather that the moon bounces off the edge of the Earth and is temporarily deformed as it rises again—anyone can understand this by throwing a ball.

@Natasha_Jay someone has got to make a macaroon version of this pic.
@Natasha_Jay Jeez, has she heard of AI and Photoshop? 😁

@Natasha_Jay

what else ? 😁😁

No, really, it is very nice'

@Natasha_Jay I wish to wear the forbidden eyeshadow.
@Natasha_Jay I sincerely hope these are all oriented "up" because if so, it is super cool how you can clearly see how she was at various latitudes when the pictures were taken.
@Natasha_Jay Super cool but the red one on the end is tweaking my OCD
@Natasha_Jay I am rather alarmed by the squashed purple one!
@Natasha_Jay Remember when everyone was talking about the split between Fox and Trump? That was funny.
