30 years ago these days comet #Hyakutake amazed in the northern skies - even close to Polaris one day - with a close approach to Earth and a super-long bright plasma tail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6uCHBqfZlk is a 15-min. excerpt from a documentary (I actually have the VHS cassette ...) about creating fantastic timelapse sequences of the latter from images shot on film.

Watch three hours of the moon setting in about 20 seconds. You can see the light change as it gets lower on the horizon.

Is it possible to upload to a peertube instance via command line? (ie. automated, super useful for timelapses)

Amazing animation of the dark side of the earth from Artemis 2 photos where you can see aurora borealis move, lightning strikes, the reflection of the moon (???), and SATELLITES GOING AROUND THE EARTH.

Ich bin zu scatterbrained um dran zu denken, ein Timelapse für meine Cover mitlaufen zu lassen. Neue Angst unlocked, dass Leute es für KI halten könnten, weil ich sowas nicht habe 🥲

In the continuing saga of @… geeking about #Artemis2, he shares a really cool sorta timelapse of an active Earth! It’s probably the coolest image to come out of the flight. 🌍

RE: #ArtemisII Mission Update briefing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5PLvqX2q8w - in Q&A we learned that contact has been made to only two of the four CubeSats deployed so far, the German one https://mastodon.social/@DLR@social.bund.de/116329959429900989 not among them. Anyway, here is a cool timelapse of the deployment as seen in the sky: https://bsky.app/profile/s2a-systems.bsky.social/post/3mimb3zb5gs2i
