    the photos are genuinely stunning but i keep thinking about how wild it is that four people just *casually* swung around the moon and came back with an iPhone-quality visual diary of it

  2. For me, the most interesting part was the visual observation and reporting by the crew, as they went over the sunlit part of the far side and into the terminator. The comms were very busy! They mentioned something about the changing colours, and other visual phenomena. Looking forward to reading about their findings.

  3. I think what struck me the most about the images is that they make you feel something that images from probes just cant seem to replicate.

    Theres a subtle human touch to framing up a shot and noticing a moment and capturing it. With a probe, you plan and you execute. So sure the probe images are visually stunning and sharp and packed with detail. But the human capture image was done just so and you can feel it.

  4. Photos taken with the Iphone 17 Pro Max in space has to be the best advertising for Apple.
