Reposted by Marc LlagunoKatie Mack @astrokatie.com · 04/04/2026The whole-Earth-at-night photo from the #Artemis II mission was brighter than many expected. That was mostly due to camera settings; here’s another pic taken just before with diff settings. Digital photography is always subjective—even before processing!

Marc Llaguno @marcllaguno.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Let’s unpack the picture taken from NASA’s Orion after translunar injection by Reid Wiseman. See alt text. This shot was taken with a Nikon D5 DSLR at ISO 51,200 which is why it is grainy. See also @astrokatie.com’s video annotation. www.instagram.com/reel/DWryhfx... #artemis2 #astronomy #space 25620
