A lunar eclipse…from both sides!!

On March 13-14, 2025, the Earth passed directly between the Sun and the Moon. Earth cast its shadow, turning the Moon's typically gray and cratered surface red, aka a "Blood Moon."

While NASA’s Glenn Research Center was looking up to see the Blood Moon Eclipse last night, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander was looking back at us!

Perspective is everything….

A New Era Takes Flight Forty-five years ago today, the countdown was on.

This stunning shot captures the Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-1) sitting on the pad on April 9, 1981, just days before it made history as the first orbital flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program.

Unlike the capsules that came before it, Columbia was designed to launch like a rocket and land like a glider—a reusable ""space truck"" that changed the way we reached for the stars.

STS-1 was the first time NASA flew a brand-new spacecraft design with a crew on board for its maiden flight.

The crew consisted of Commander John Young and Pilot Robert Crippen.

The mission lasted just over 2 days, orbiting the Earth 36 times.

Columbia paved the way for the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and decades of scientific discovery. Today, we look back at this iconic bird and the giant leap it represented for reusable space travel.

... How the fuck do I do this?

Do I just say "I wish to prevent Triton, Rhea, and Titania from dying", or something like tha-

*Woe, Callisto going back in time*
