This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

    Everyone knows a real picture of Earth would have the North American centered. This is clearly fake.

      Yeah, took me a while to parse the geography. The picture seems to be taken upside down over the south Atlantic.

      Spain is visible, south America partially covered by clouds.

            Kotlin, but really that’s a common string thing so might be the same in many languages.

    The Overview Effect (a supposed increase in wisdom from simply seeing your home planet from far away) is mostly a distraction from solving the problems of deciding who gets to own stuff in space and how do we as a society mitigate the risk of autocrats hurling extinction-level rocks at one another for their own personal short term profit.

      I think the yellow tinted light is a reflection in the capsule window, and the other more white-ish light is the sun reflecting in the ocean. The Sun has a very diffuse reflection from the light reflecting off all the waves, but also a more specular reflection in the middle. I always wondered what the ratio between those were. Now I know.

      Edit: Could also be the moon reflecting, not the sun.
