Some of these images from the lunar observations gives me a weird perspective where the moon is really small and the features are like rain drops in really soft sand. Not sure if it's because my brain "knows" the size of the earth, and is seeing the moon as super close and forcing the perspective??? This one in particular: https://artemistimeline.com/#a-setting-earth
Hank Green has a video walking through how to use the timeline here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyZE9VWJjDA. For me, the best experience was to click "Crew Photos Only" and then step through the photos chronologically with the arrow buttons.
April 6th is probably the best advertisement Nutella could ever make.
1. This is Hank Green's site. That's amazing! If you don't follow him on YouTube, you need to.

2. He used Claude Code! What an incredible enabler of fun little side projects it's turning into.

3. This is exactly what the internet felt like in 2000-2006. This is amazing. Creators are making little things all over and sharing them on the indie web. Yesssss!!!

Even just seeing it all in photos is humbling. We really should take better care of our home.

The far side of the Moon has really lived.

I don’t think I’ve seen photos before that showed both sides in such stark contrast.

It's really interesting to see see a Hank Green link on HN posted by Geerling, feels like the old internet again.

Oh, and if that wasn't cool enough, apparently the creative director of NASA even posted about it, saying they're using it internally!

...Though, the link appears down, and archive.org doesn't have a copy.

And... archive.ph serves this instead?

... which is weird when Russia is technically nowhere in the chain.

Nice shots of Australia on Apr 02, 6:41:23 PM (left = north) and 6:42:35 PM (down = north), including Tropical Cyclone Maila (I think).

This is a amazing exactly how I want to explore the mission.
And in Hanks vid he mentioned it might become expensive to host on Vercel as I recall.
Anyone know how similar timeline at top can be created with the drag feature like the site?
It is remarkable what a low percentage of photographs of the Moon there are. Plenty of the astronauts, ground crew, the Earth and the craft. I know that probes have photographed the surface before but it is the main interest for me anyway.
Nice to see that multi-national space-faring co-operation can transcend current differing national political stances.
