This is incredible. The new @NASA image release from #Artemis includes a sequence of 'Hello World' still photographs.
I've been processing / animating them and here's what the original didn't show us:
Satellites, including their solar arrays, lightning storms
and dancing aurora!
@Erdayastronaut Huge respect Tim. I can’t wait to watch, this is going to be a great video no matter what.
