By now, you have seen the Earth image by the #Artemis crew at least a hundred times. In this annotated version, several #optics effects are highlighted. It also shows how fragile planet #Earth is, with a super thin #atmosphere protecting us from the harsh vacuum of space.
Let's protect it.
@pfsmet Why did the author of this image feel the need to rotate the orientation? There's no "up" in space except for "out of the local gravity well".
@gcvsa same question here. @pfsmet any chance we can get an annotated version with the original image as seen by astronauts?
@polarjet @gcvsa @pfsmet
pic posted upside down. why?
