MakerTube is now also providing English captions for all non-English videos. This is in addition to the already existing transcription of the video audio. The idea is to make it more inclusive and make the content available to a broader audience. PeerSeek is now reflecting this and showing […]

The #Artemis II photos are brilliant. #space #NASA
A photo of the moon in the foreground and the earth in the background. Both are crescent shaped due to the sun hitting them at an angle. The moon looms large, taking up the most of the screen. It has stunning detail with craters both big and small dotting the surface like the lumps of sand on a beach. The Earth is slightly overlapped by the moon and emanates a faint glow due the fact it reflects way more light. Truly a magnificent photo.
