They got new photos of the moon,

I knew she had colors hiding in there 🥹

[wizardimpersonator]

Correction to the link sourced by OP! The Artemis II team did not take these photographs. These were shot by a Ukrainian student named Ildar Ibatullin sometime in the last year or so. Furthermore, the Moon does not have these actual colors in reality; Ildar does a lot of post processing and compositing to saturate the colors in order to artistically represent the mineral composition of the lunar surface.

If you would like to see photos taken by the astronauts aboard Artemis II (and more!), here is the repository that NASA is keeping.

[spoons-and-coathangers]

Hello! I don't believe we've met, but I'm Daisy.

Might I get your name?

@solarosha

"I was called Neonorei once, and the name still serves me well enough. It's a pleasure to meet you, Daisy." They turn to face her with a sincere smile. "Solar deity of some description, I assume? Please correct me if not, I would hate to hold a false assumption."

[solarosha]

She smiles back, and the air around them fills with motes of light.

"You assume correctly, in this case - I do try to be obvious about it, after all. I have been a lot of solar deities, and I would like to last a good while this go-round. What about yourself, Neonorei?"

[spoons-and-coathangers]

"In life, I was a very minor deity, hence being good at guessing the domains of others. I was the god of spoons, coathangers, and the feeling of being watched when no one else is around. I suppose, in some ways, I still am, even in death." They speak about their own death extremely casually, in the same tone one would use to talk about the weather being perfectly normal for this time of year.

[solarosha]

"Oh you've died before too? Which kind, getting killed by another deity? The culture that worshipped you moving on or dying out?" She looks... oddly excited. "I assume you never had a cyclical dying and being reanimated/reborn on a regular basis thing, since you said death singular. I had that as Ra, and it's been coming back lately too, but it doesn't hit the same."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

They seem entirely unfazed by her excitement. "You could say the culture that worshipped me died out. A universe collapsing in on itself tends to do that to its inhabitants. And, no, no cyclical deaths for me, I only got the one. Some of my colleagues suffered very different fates, however, and I do not envy them."

[solarosha]

"Oough, sorry about that happening to you dearheart," she winces, "I'm glad you made it out though. I've never had anything on that... scale... happen to me, so I at least get to see people rediscovering my past selves, now and then. Or use them in fiction, though they are not really believed in... But, I do know that dwindling belief is one of the harder deaths to come back from. I think I've only managed it because the sun hasn't gone away."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

"I just got lucky. Apparently, being boring and getting what amounts to an office job is enough of a purpose to keep an obscure minor deity from oblivion. Most of my fellow dead gods have found more… eccentric methods of persistence." There's no disdain, disgust, or disapproval in their voice as they speak of their contemporaries, just a personal disinterest in whatever it is they're doing to stave off their second deaths.

[solarosha]

"How eccentric are we talking? I'm curious about where I fall on that scale." Daisy smiles. "Though, it is no easy feat to land a job after you die. I'd also like to hear that story, if it's one you don't mind telling."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

"Well, the eccentricities are not, in truth, all too unexpected for the most part. The god of papercuts and unexpected pleasure has found some extraordinarily unique ways to combine their domains, and they even have their own demiplane for it now. As for myself, it's not much of a story; I just wandered aimlessly for a while, and when I found a place that looked suitably boring I applied for a job there."

[solarosha]

"I suppose that makes sense," she nods. "I just start over as a new sun deity, myself. That's the only consistent thing, everything else has changed more than once. I don't even always remember my past selves for a little bit, at least until I'm established in whatever pantheon is emerging."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

"That's understandable. Perhaps one day I'll find a new pantheon, as some of my old colleagues have done, but I doubt there's much need for a deity with my highly specific and typically unconnected domains."

[solarosha]

"No, I suppose there wouldn't be," she says. "At least you wouldn't have to worry about overlapping anyone else though! If you ever want to give it a shot, I can put in a good word for you at mine."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

"I will think on it. Perhaps the time will come for me to move on from menial messenger duties, and then I can see if there are any pantheons in need of an obscure minor deity."

[solarosha]

"Maybe, yes." Daisy nods. "It is ultimately your decision, but I will say that obscure minor deities make wonderful additions, they're the perfect ones to just pop up in myths every now and then for incredibly specific situations."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

"I'm sure people would get very inventive about the mythological significance of a coathanger." They smile with a brief humoured exhale. "Mortals are nothing if not endlessly creative."

[solarosha]

"Indeed. I am curious myself, what they might come up with."

[spoons-and-coathangers]

[determined-spirits]

[Similar to what happened a few days ago, there is now a brand new spruce door, perfectly 2x1 meters. It seems to call to anyone passing by it.]

[solarosha]

Daisy had been passing by it on her usual walk-around the OSHA complex.

She recognizes the call as a foreign influence, but... it doesn't feel malicious, so she decides to investigate anyway.

She opens the door, hoping that she doesn't need to squeeze through it herself...

[determined-spirits]

[She finds herself in a wide, open field. A large, red cat looks up at her, and then promptly flops over.]

[solarosha]

"Well aren't you a cutie!" She chuckles, and reaches out to let the cat sniff her fingers.

[determined-spirits]

[...Hm. The cat isn't moving.]

[solarosha]

"I must confess, I'm not sure if that is a good sign or not," she says. "I'm sure you'd make it known, if I pet you and that was not what you wanted, but then you also might run away, no?"

[determined-spirits]

No, I just don't particularly like petting. I do like the sunbeams you emanate, theyre very warm.

[solarosha]

"That is rather the point, dearheart," Daisy says, only mildly surprised at the talking cat, and sits down next to her. "That and the light, it's all very important. Have you got a name?"

[determined-spirits]

I'm Jackie. who are you?

[solarosha]

"My name is Daisy," she smiles, "I am, as you may have gathered, a sun goddess."

[determined-spirits]

Really? I couldn't tell. I didn't know there was more than one.

[She licks her paw.]

[solarosha]

"There have always been several running concurrently, from various cultures and such," she says. "Not as many these days, and I'm sure that once the others die I will suddenly remember having always been them, too." She shrugs. "Or I'll go first, and someone new will have always been me. Plus, I'm not certain we're in My timeline so there should at least be another of me out here."

[determined-spirits]

cool.

[She stands up, walks over to daisy, and rubs her face on her hand.]

[solarosha]

Daisy smiles, and rubs Jackie's face back with her thumb, mostly between her ears.

"What do you like to do for fun? Just normal cat things?"

[determined-spirits]

I travel around with my family mostly. I also annoy this Zababa guy.

[solarosha]

"Oh? Why him particularly? And how?" She grins, "Annoying people is very fun, in the right conditions."

[determined-spirits]

For fun, I think. I've never asked why. I just scratch him up a bit.

[solarosha]

"Fair enough," she nods, "Some people you can just tell they have it coming. How does he react, usually?"

[determined-spirits]

He hasn't ever. One day I'll get him.

[solarosha]

"I would be up for helping, if you’d like," she says, examining her nails. "It sounds like fun."

[determined-spirits]

oh, it is. I'll consider it. Any way to contact you?

[solarosha]

"I am not a goddess for nothing," she smiles, "Prayers are sure to reach me. Even just mimicking the ritual of it - address me by name and then start talking, preferably in the sunlight."

[determined-spirits]

Noted.

[She walks away from Daisy's hand, and then flops down on the ground again.]

[solarosha]

"I suppose that is my cue to move on," Daisy says, stretching her arms and wings. "See you around, Jackie."

[determined-spirits]

"There have always been several running concurrently, from various cultures and such," she says. "Not as many these days, and I'm sure that once the others die I will suddenly remember having always been them, too." She shrugs. "Or I'll go first, and someone new will have always been me. Plus, I'm not certain we're in My timeline so there should at least be another of me out here."

[determined-spirits]

cool.

[She stands up, walks over to daisy, and rubs her face on her hand.]

[solarosha]

Daisy smiles, and rubs Jackie's face back with her thumb, mostly between her ears.

"What do you like to do for fun? Just normal cat things?"

[determined-spirits]

I travel around with my family mostly. I also annoy this Zababa guy.

[solarosha]

"Oh? Why him particularly? And how?" She grins, "Annoying people is very fun, in the right conditions."

[determined-spirits]

For fun, I think. I've never asked why. I just scratch him up a bit.

[solarosha]

"Fair enough," she nods, "Some people you can just tell they have it coming. How does he react, usually?"

[determined-spirits]

He hasn't ever. One day I'll get him.

[solarosha]

"I would be up for helping, if you’d like," she says, examining her nails. "It sounds like fun."

[determined-spirits]

oh, it is. I'll consider it. Any way to contact you?

[solarosha]

"I am not a goddess for nothing," she smiles, "Prayers are sure to reach me. Even just mimicking the ritual of it - address me by name and then start talking, preferably in the sunlight."

[determined-spirits]

[Similar to what happened a few days ago, there is now a brand new spruce door, perfectly 2x1 meters. It seems to call to anyone passing by it.]

[solarosha]

Daisy had been passing by it on her usual walk-around the OSHA complex.

She recognizes the call as a foreign influence, but... it doesn't feel malicious, so she decides to investigate anyway.

She opens the door, hoping that she doesn't need to squeeze through it herself...

[determined-spirits]

[She finds herself in a wide, open field. A large, red cat looks up at her, and then promptly flops over.]

[solarosha]

"Well aren't you a cutie!" She chuckles, and reaches out to let the cat sniff her fingers.

[determined-spirits]

[...Hm. The cat isn't moving.]

[solarosha]

"I must confess, I'm not sure if that is a good sign or not," she says. "I'm sure you'd make it known, if I pet you and that was not what you wanted, but then you also might run away, no?"

[determined-spirits]

No, I just don't particularly like petting. I do like the sunbeams you emanate, theyre very warm.

[solarosha]

"That is rather the point, dearheart," Daisy says, only mildly surprised at the talking cat, and sits down next to her. "That and the light, it's all very important. Have you got a name?"

[determined-spirits]

I'm Jackie. who are you?

[solarosha]

"My name is Daisy," she smiles, "I am, as you may have gathered, a sun goddess."

[determined-spirits]

Really? I couldn't tell. I didn't know there was more than one.

[She licks her paw.]
