To underscore this: Yes, the dark side of the Earth in this picture is being lit by the Moon, from somewhere behind the spacecraft. Very dim to the naked eye, but bright enough with the camera's sensitivity turned way, way up.
Not naturally, no. But digital cameras have very good low-light settings these days and can take usable pictures in very little light.
Camera set to very low light settings, which modern digital cameras can do. That's why it's grainy and why you can see stars.
Modern digital cameras have excellent low-light capability compared to old Apollo film cameras. The dark side image is just being overexposed, which is why you can also see stars in this one and not the others. And you can see it's also grainy and "noisy," which is a telltale of low-light photography.
Clara Peller was a national treasure.
Squirrels were relatively uncommon in until some cities populated their parks with them in 1800s, partly to help city dwellers connect with cute animals. You're the one doing it right!
RUD, or "rapid unscheduled disassembly," is tongue-in-cheek rocket slang. We've been using it for decades. Rocket fails and dumps payload in ocean? "Hydrosynchronous orbit."
This ^^. The video doesn't capture the horrible smell of the rust cloud. Been there, done that.
Strictly, masts and staffs are different; masts have a horizontal crosspiece to hold additional flags, and occur most commonly on naval bases. But many don't know or care about the difference, so in the U.S. you actually hear both.
Bill Hootkins is mentioned in the Warren Report on the Kennedy assignation. Oswald's wife tutored him in Russian. Totally not making this up.
These are professional quality. Excellent work!
Domino's is headquartered in Michigan and is actually noticeably better there than in the rest of the country.
Ugh, the Pillsbury Militia.
True...
Probably what you think.
This is why the U.S. has a Labor Day instead of a Labor party.
Upvoting for the Vernour's.
Pic taken at corner of 700 E 2700 S, but as already said, the fire was in Brickyard.
Translation: Trump showed me what his Russian goons dug up on me.
Utah aerospace engineer here, worked on the SRBs. Railroad tunnels had nothing to do with it.
John does the convention circuit. You won't be sorry for stopping by his table. He loves to engage with fans.
Yeah, I used to live there. Just bring your laundry in before it gets ash all over it.
Margaret Hamilton had a very important and productive role, and deserves the honor. But no, one person did not write all the Apollo code.
Former Kansan here. We don't want your trash either.
When my dad underwent chemo, I shaved my head in sympathy. He didn't lose his hair. And I have a Prof. Farnsworth scalp.
I studied computer graphics at Univ. of Utah back in the 90s. What's going on these days in the business is miraculous.
Peterson is my fiancé's law professor. Been to his house. He's a class act all the way.
