@clive The lunar eclipse photo is so ethereal and visually perfect that it looks like the best CGI from a sci-fi movie. Amazing!

@clive Beautiful. Funny how abstract the size feels at that distance. Has anybody done a β€œbanana for scale” for those craters?

@clive it's a shame they're such small JPEGs, I wish they had released the full size ones or the RAWs.

(wait... can we FOIA them?)

There seem to be a lot of catenae, crater chains, in that earthrise image running perpendicular to the line between the camera position and the earth. Other views of the Hertzsprung basin reassure me that I'm not just imagining it.

That raking light and deep time palimpsest of craters is wonderful to contemplate.
