A small treat for the weekend.

In the late evening of 24 April 1972, Apollo 16 left lunar orbit carrying John Young, Thomas Mattingley II, & Charlie Duke back to Earth.

The Apollo Metric (Mapping) Camera took a sequence of still images looking back at the Moon, initially the lunar farside & then the nearside as it rotated into view.

Here's a 10 fps movie sequence showing 90 of those images without any processing or alignment.

I wrote a thing. I hope you enjoy it! 🤘🙂

🪐 From #Myth to Machine: When Stories Shaped Our Journey to the Stars 🚀

Humans have always looked up at the night sky—not just to navigate or measure, but to imagine. From ancient myths to Galileo’s telescope, from Jules Verne’s moon voyages to the visionary worlds of sci-fi writers, our stories about space have profoundly shaped our path into the cosmos.

Today, these once-fantastic narratives have become real infrastructure, influencing our #politics, #economy, technology, and #society in profound ways.

In my latest Society & Technology Newsletter, I explore how the imaginative power of storytelling has driven humanity’s journey into space—and what happens now that we’re actually there.

I’d love for you to read it, share your thoughts, and join this fascinating reflection.

Workers affected by the layoffs were only given 30 days’ notice — instead of 60, as spelled out in federal government guidance — and have even been denied time-off awards. #Astrobiology #Astrophysics #Cosmology #PlanetaryScience #Space #SpaceExploration

Exciting news from astrobiology! Researchers have found that certain lichens can survive and remain metabolically active under simulated Martian conditions, including exposure to intense radiation. This discovery suggests that life could potentially endure on Mars, even in its harsh environment. Lichens' resilience highlights their potential role in future space exploration and colonization efforts.

Join us this evening for an exciting talk on Measuring the Night Sky with guest speaker John Wilmot. John Wilmot's interest in astronomy began in childhood with constellation identification in Cub Scouts. After a period of casual observation with small telescopes, his passion deepened in 2004 with the purchase of a serious telescope and subsequent involvement in a local astronomy club. Following a brief hiatus, he resumed the hobby, quickly completing the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada's 'Explore the Universe' program. Currently, he is engaged in sketching the Messier objects and serves as a director of the Barrie Astronomy Club, where he presents on astronomical topics. John has also delivered presentations at the Barrie Public Library, sharing his enthusiasm for the night sky with both adults and children.
