More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

I wonder if they needed to use a high ISO, i.e. I wonder if it looked “pretty dark” to the eye.

Thanks! It’s cool that they made that info available. (I wasn’t expecting my innocent comment to spark so much — impassioned discussion, let’s say. :) )
