Seems like the most significant thing to come from Artemis II, as far as the public is concerned, is going to be a massive collection of the best images ever captured of our moon and it's surroundings.

This is one of the better videos I've found so far summarizing what they've captured. Feel free to use this thread to link any cool Moon or Artemis content you've found...

The Artemis II crew captures a portion of the Moon coming into view along the terminator – the boundary between lunar day and night – where low-angle sunlight casts long, dramatic shadows across the surface. This grazing light accentuates the Moon’s rugged topography, revealing craters, ridges, and basin structures in striking detail. Features along the terminator such as Jule Crater, Birkhoff Crater, Stebbins Crater, and surrounding highlands stand out. From this perspective, the interplay of light and shadow highlights the complexity of the lunar surface in ways not visible under full illumination. The image was captured about three hours into the crew’s lunar observation period, as they flew around the far side of the Moon on the sixth day of the mission.

If the ball would stick to the surface that would be one of the easiest places to get a hole in one.

It's crazy that India, China and Russia have all confirmed Apollo landing sites.

Meanwhile, idiots that should not be allowed to have unmonitored Internet access can be convinced of anything with a 20 minute national enquirer type video.

In 2028 I'm voting for restricted internet access for adults.

While driving yesterday I saw what I call a Prism cloud, don’t know the actual name, but the sun was hitting it at the perfect angle for it to be every color in the rainbow. It started at purple on the left and shifted colors as you moved right all the way until it was yellow on the far right. My first thought wasn’t how pretty it was, my first thought was that it’d make a chem trail wackos head explode.

Man, looking at all those impact craters on the moon makes me thankful we have an atmosphere to burn all those rocks up before they hit.

That and breathing, top 2 ways the atmosphere helps**
