You'll likely catch this image a million times in your various feeds: Earth as seen by Reid Wiseman from Artemis II en-route to the Moon.

My first thought? That's *really* noisy 🧐

But then I realised – it's the *nightside* of Earth, illuminated by the almost full Moon, not the Sun 🌕

The bright limb at lower-right is where the dayside starts, & the fact that you can see aurorae, airglow, & cities in Europe, Africa, & S & N America also gives the game away.

Cool.

"The Tulip," Judith Leyster, 1643.

Leyster (1609-60) suffered a fate common to many women artists....she was respected and popular in her time, but after her death her work was attributed to male artists.

Leyster was a busy painter of still lifes, portraits, and genre scenes (everyday life). Details of her early life and education are scant, but she joined the local artists' guild when she was 20. She busily painted until her marriage in 1636 to another painter, Jan Molenaer, when she slowed down, and she died at 50. After her passing, her work was credited either to her husband or to painter Frans Hals, whom she once sued, but also may have been her teacher, as their styles are very similar.

Her work was rediscovered in 1893 and a huge project was undertaken to analyze various works. Now a substantial body of work is credited to her.

Happy Flower Friday!

This such an unexpected and amazing video. Makes me sad to think about how many of these systems are likely shredded in a landfill by now…
