Moon far side
>by artemis iiclearly not, seeing as the far side is mostly covered in blackness at this time
>>16950507Proxima Centauri
>>16950513It's only showing like 30% of the far side, all the dark areas are visible from earth already.
>>16950507what are the chances they went to the far side and saw absolutely nothing?
>>16950581The Moon is a boring ball of rock.
>>16950581They mostly saw nothing, the picture has basically all of the far side they saw. Starlight may allow them to pick up some detail on the far side beyond that but nothing interesting for certain.
>>16950610Shouldn't they have done some long exposure photography?
>>16950507I wish that more fictional art exaggerated the colors of the moon like that.
>>16950593An airless rock, even.
>>16950633Well yes but I include that into "saw nothing" because it's not with their eyes. If they wanted to look at a picture of the far side of the moon there's plenty available with high definition and full lighting, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter for instance has a pretty good catalog of amazing pictures.
Thats where they keep the cow tools.
>>16950593I often get hit with this disturbing notion that the entire visible universe is just full of boring lifeless balls of rock, and earth is all we have, it's all there is.
>>16950755Well you can weep and gnash your teeth about the vastness of cosmic indifference, or take pleasure knowing that we are pretty much the focal point of it all
>>16950755>earth is all we have, it's all there is.it's possibly but given how many stars are out there it's highly improbably. what is more disturbing is that barring some innovation like reifying the alcubierre drive, we'll most likely never know about them.
>>16950755We're just as "boring" as those lifeless balls of rock.

>>16950529#5 @ Jersey Mikes?
>>16950507pathetic CGI
>>16950904>reifying the alcubierre driveah yes let me invent matter with negative mass real quick
>>16950529my anus after Mexican night.
>>16950507No.
>>16950529people who are amazed by this are toddler levels of retard>LE HECKING STAR 4.2 LIGHT YEAR AWAY! WOW!
Reminder that Elon Musk's Occupy Mars shirt doesn't have Mars on it. The Moon with a red filter over it was used. Some think this was a secret signal that he knew he'd have to do the Moon first even though he kept saying it was a waste of time. Others think it was simply lazy graphic design.
>>16950728They said in the stream they saw the dark side clearly during the eclipse because of Earthshine but the cameras wouldn't pick it from dynamic range. I figure they were able to see as much as a moonlit night.
>>16951477The far side is not illuminated by earthshine. It's on the wrong side of the moon.

the news keeps saying "never seen before seen by human eyes" to play it upand they went 4000 miles further then apollobut out of 1/4 million miles?weather use to be "going 2 rain"now 100 million under threat from atmospheric river/bomb cyclone!
>>16951948I can't find it now but there's a map showing what the apollo missions actually saw up close and there's a big blind spot, so it's a correct statement even if it doesn't mean as much as they make it out to be
>>16951948>the news keeps saying "never seen before seen by human eyes" to play it upSo NASA now admits that none of the Apollo astronauts were really humans?Gnorts!>>16951950>there's a big blind spotConsidering one astronaut remained in the command module, this is unexpected.

>>16951433It's the first time a star other than our sun was shown at this level of detail. You're the retard for not understanding what that image represents.
>>16950755It bums me out I'll never witness the peak of humanity, unless we've already hit it which is even more depressing
>>16950755I realise the same but feel elation for all that untapped mineral wealth.
