Venus, Saturn, and the Moon looked pretty happy this morning

2 Falcon 9 launches. 2 RTLS landings. 1 cloudy night that nearly ruined this composition.

Refreshing article by @sciguyspace.bsky.social about Starliner's flight from Butch Wilmore's perspective. No politics or clickbait. Just the facts of what happened straight from Butch. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

The first one is always a doozy. The launch infrastructure seems to be okay which is great. Time to work the issue and get the second rocket on the pad.

The arrival and docking of Crew Dragon Endurance and the Crew-10 Astronauts as captured by NASA Astronaut Don Pettit aboard the International Space Station.

New launch background images just dropped 🔥 That's 2/2 in three days from Launch Complex 1. Thanks Kineis for flying on Electron.

And the sun sets on Firefly's Blue Ghost. It's not expected to survive the 2 week long lunar night, but stranger things have happened! One of its final pictures sees the Earth, Venus, and the Sun before it dips below the Moon's horizon. Credit: Firefly shorturl.at/jaI7N

Recently upgraded from a Canon 550d (2010) to a Canon 200d (2017). The low light performance improvement has been fantastic! #orion #astrophotography #astronomy #nebula

High fives all round – that’s mission success for our 62nd Electron launch! Congratulations to the team at Kineis, it has been a privilege to deploy your entire constellation in less than a year across five dedicated Electron launches.

I took some photos from a 2022 shoot of the Moon with Mars, stacked it and reprocessed it. I was so much happier when I saw how much more detail I could get out of the same data. #moon #astrophotography #mars

My final stacked image of last week's Blood Moon #bloodmoon #astrophotography #space #moon

Getting a little artsy with it. Yesterday's lunar eclipse combined with last year's solar eclipse. Instantly one of my favorite pieces

In case you were wondering what the eclipse looked like from the lunar surface, Blue Ghost has you covered! fireflyspace.com/news/blue-gh...

A quick and dirty edit of the beautiful blood moon. If you're awake in North America, go outside NOW!
