The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon.
The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon. The Apollo 8 mission was the first crewed spacecraft to circumnavigate the Moon.

I just love revan and the massive all encompassing amount of different interpretations and characterizations they get from different authors it's so peak it's literally so so peak.
Revan as a snarky jerk you bet that's peak
Revan as a world weary veteran double peak
Revan as a happy go lucky person unburdened by the memories that drove them to darkness only to slowly realize over the course of the rest of their life exactly how bad things are that's gonna have to go in the peak box gamers
Revan as a lover who loves people and the Republic and can't even hate the mandalorians for what they've done but sets about dismantling them because Revan loves their own people just a little bit more.
Revan as a failure at the end of their rope who physically cannot give up.
Revan as an unrepentant bastard who knows exactly what they did and would to it again.
I have enough love in my heart for them all.
If you have the time, tell me about yours. (Yes even if you know for a fact I already know about them I want to know what YOU think)
my revan, from my fic starlight & obsidian is called avner drayen, he thinks he used to be a scout and is now a soldier for the republic ā but also a jedi.
as a young knight, he was brilliant, starting off with good intentions, hoping to bring peace to the galaxy and stop the mandalorians bloody rampage. but time, his experiences and a desire to do better, win bigger twisted him. the dark tendencies that were always in him sprang to the surface and eventually became his modus operandi. he became cruel, calculating and did all kinds of horrible things so as long as it justified the end ā which was victory.
he ruined his friendships and the only family bonds and become more distant. his fall to the dark side was a slow, inevitable thing and he did not resist it but welcomed the change that got him more power.
becoming the dark lord only exacerbated his worst tendencies, ariv had been a manipulative and cold leader, obsessive and headstrong, never to admit he was wrong. butānot beneathāalong, with these qualities, he was sacrificial to a fault, altruistic to some extent and trying to make the galaxy a stronger and better place that met his vision of a peaceful and strong populace through unusual means. he hoped to fix the republic and prepare it for inevitable war.
we love revan for (some) of these traits shown in the game and novels and so does bastila.
The Jedi in The High Republic are stronger than I am because if I kept getting bested by a man whore who walks around without a shirt and manspreads everywhere he sits, I wouldāve gone ballistic.
I'd like to remind everybody that this isn't just about A03 or civil rights organizations. This could be applied to any 501 organization. That includes churches, schools, museums and library support organizations. All sorts of support organizations like soup kitchens or places like goodwill. Those are all non-profit organizations and they all have a 501 status. This is a threat to every civil organization we have that is meant to help the public.
So please contact your representatives. Please look this up on Twitter and click the link so you can call your representatives and voice against this. Because there's a hell of a lot more at stake with a bill like this than just ao3. People's lives could be at risk.
The House will vote THIS WEEK to determine whether the incoming Trump administration will have the power to shut down non-profit organizations with no due process.
Congress has already tried to fast-track this legislation once and failed because of the onslaught of calls to their offices. We canāt let them do this quietly. Congress giving Trump the power to crush dissent and target organizations fighting for justice is a betrayal. Tell your representatives to vote NO on this dangerous bill!
This means that it's heading over to the Senate, where they'll tinker with it and vote again.
If it passes the Senate, it goes to the President, who has the option to veto.
Which means NOW you reach out to your Senators (both of them) and tell them that you want them to vote NO on this Trojan horse of awful.
But: we have two more chances to keep this from becoming law. The fight's not over yet.
And that's not even the good news!
For various reasons of political fuckery/ rules lawyering, this bill had to go through TWO rounds of votes in Congress to get through.
It didn't pass the first time because it had a higher threshold of votes to meet (2/3 Congress Critters had to vote yes) and it failed because it couldn't clear that bar.
So the people behind the bill sent it through AGAIN in a way that needed fewer votes to pass (only 1/2 of Congress Critters had to vote yes). This time it got through.
But along the way, almost 40 people changed their vote to "No". ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR OUTREACH.
That's huge.
Here's the home page for the bill. Check out the "Roll Call Votes" section to see how your Representative voted:
Summary of H.R.9495 - 118th Congress (2023-2024): Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act
Personally? Mine flipped her vote from "Yes" in the first round to "No" in the second.
Outreach. Works.
So, what do we do now?
Click the link above, and see how your Rep voted
Send them an email thanking them for their support/ telling them how disappointed you are. Why? Because it's important to let them know you pay attention to how they vote.
Contact your Senators (both of them) and ask them to vote NO
Contact the White House and let President Biden know you want him to veto this thing if it hits his desk
