The "Hello World" photo from #ArtemisII did not come alone. Here's an animation put together by fredk of multiple exposures (UMSF After Party https://discord.com/channels/1290524907624464394/1305654861496451182) showing a receding Earth in moonshine.
Crank up the brightness and behold lightning in Africa & South America, shifting aurorae at the poles... & satellite glints all over the place, most visible at 3 & 9 o'clock 🤯
I remember ppl suggesting using stuff like this to do SETI...

Work in progress. Artist's expecting to finish the whole mural by the end of the week, despite the winds interfering.

TL;DR: in situ carbonation of olivine is the preferred formation method for the #JezeroCrater carbonates detected by #PerseveranceRover along its trek.

@michael_w_busch @CStamp @sundogplanets there's a flare at around 7 o'clock (apparent N Africa/Mediterranean) with a non-flaring companion a bit to the left. Looks like they are on a polar orbit, so I thought they could be Kosmos stages, those are the brightest most usual satellite sights one could have at our northern latitudes not so long ago... There may be a meteorite cameo over the sea as well.

@michael_w_busch @sundogplanets it's more visible on a larger screen and with more brightness. I'll see if I can do a crop

@Illuminatus in what version of MK is the golden mushroom good at Rainbow Road though? You're most likely to drive off into space 🙃

@floe@hci.social @jovi@hci.social as a sw eng with an enthusiast's interest in orbital dynamics packages & viz, specially REBOUND which I've toyed with many times, this paper was a swift read. I don't know what kind of reviewer you're looking for, but let me know if I can help

@carolynporco the discord link above is where I got it from. fredk is an avid image processor but I'm not aware if they have a main account for posting (maybe @PaulHammond51 or @pomarede know?). The source photos are in the public domain & I bet there'll be more processing by others ( @stim3on ?) since there appears to be more exposures, only of varying quality (the lighting conditions are challenging but so gorgeous...)
