Way better than the shots I didn't get, Tom . . . forgot all about the Blood Moon.
Watched this morning from the Prescott, AZ area. PERFECT!
Sorry, no pics.

The eclipse was great. I need to reacquaint myself with my camera gear. Had a tough time trying to get things focused and getting a decent exposure. 4 in the morning is not a good time to figure out camera settings. Lol. Not sure what aI saw last night streaking across the sky, maybe an asteroid burning across the sky. It finally ended in a shower of sparks over the mountains. Unfortunately I have no pics.

Guess B.C. had a bit of excitement
Anyone watching NASA put some new stuff in the sky tonight - Artemis II blasts off in about an hour, on its way to the moon - God's speed.
To the moon and back!

Netflix is carrying the whole thing if you want to catch up. Just type in Nasa Live or Artemis and it pops right up.
Too much talking by the ground crews for my taste. I don't recall the Apollo missions being this yackety.

Had to turn it off. Found myself doing a hard comparison between Artemis and Apollo and response times at splashdown.
I think the grandkids didn't do it as well as the grandparents

... And Apollo did it with 1960's era computer technology ...
Still, amazing feat and glad they are back safely.
Cheers

Proof positive that humans can get it right when they get their crap together. Great story in my feed this morning from the NYT Saturday Canada Letter about Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
The man has got his personal focus located correctly.
From the NYT:
“Before he boarded a rocket to the moon, the Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen had a training experience that stood apart from his three NASA crew members.
For four days, Mr. Hansen did not eat food or drink water. In that time, he communed with nature and sought spiritual guidance under the wing of an Indigenous elder in Manitoba, who in June 2023 led him through a rite called a vision quest. The ceremony explored teachings known as the Seven Sacred Laws, which are respect, truth, honesty, humility, courage, wisdom and love. Each attribute corresponds to a traditionally important animal like the turtle, wolf or buffalo.”
