The Moon always shows us the same side, but... not precisely the same view. Due to the tilt and shape of its orbit, we see it from slightly different angles throughout the month. Sped up it looks like it's wobbling (Credit: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio)show more

Earthrise, captured by the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya from lunar... orbit 🌏 Such a "rise" can only be filmed from orbit, because from the lunar surface, Earth always remains in roughly the same spot in the sky. This is because the Moon always faces Earth with the same side due to tidal locking. The video is sped up.show more

Visualization of the Moon's Phases 🌒 This visual illustration... shows how the Moon's phases change depending on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. The Moon reflects sunlight, and as it moves around the Earth, the angle at which we see more or less illuminated areas changes. Fun fact: the far side of the Moon isn't actually "dark." It receives the same amount of sunlight as the side we see.show more

Watching this changes how you see the night sky.... The Moon never changes its face. It is always half lit by the Sun. What changes is our position as it moves around Earth. From full Moon when we see the entire lit side, to new Moon when the lit side turns away and it vanishes from our sky, every phase is just geometry and perspective. A slight tilt in its orbit is why eclipses are rare, not monthly. Nothing mystical, just cosmic alignment repeating with precision.show more

Moon phases, but different. 🌖 🌒 Soon, humans will... be on the far side of the Moon. From the Artemis II crew's POV, the Moon phase will be the opposite of what we see on Earth. Follow us for lunar science updates throughout the mission. Where will you view the full Moon from?show more

🧵3/4 A wider view of the same event. From... SOHO’s wide coronagraph, we see a clearer view of the dust cloud emerging after the flyby. It looks like comet MAPS dove straight into the Sun… but another spacecraft’s view tells a different story.show more

Added the sun and moon to the sky (and... surfaces that reflect it, like windows and bodies of water). The moon also shows different phases depending on the time of month.show more

This was the view from Temescal Canyon as we... drove out to PCH, we tried to take Sunset but homes were burning on either side of us and the smoke was so thick we couldn’t see the road. So much devastation, Palisades Village won’t look the same after tonight. #PalisadesFireshow more

Watching the Moon actually rotate puts into perspective just... how beat up that far side really is. It looks like a completely different planet from the back. 🪐🤯show more

The same sport, but it looks like a different... country: the internet compared how football matches in Paris ended in 1998 and in 2026.show more

Earth reaches its aphelion today, the point in orbit... which is farthest from the Sun 🌍 It may seem odd that this occurs during summer in the northern hemisphere, but remember, seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth, not its distance from the Sun ☀️show more

From the Moon, a lunar eclipse looks like a... total solar eclipse, but it lasts a LOT longer. For NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, that means the team has to plan carefully for the 4 hours that the spacecraft — and its solar panels — will be in the dark and the cold. 🌑🛰 1/3show more

🇮🇷| Two videos from the same location but different... atmosphere. One widely circulated video, originally posted by an account based in France, shows a rather blurry scene with monarchist slogans, with a building burning in the distance. Another video from the exact same location, filmed slightly farther back than the first, shows no fire at the building, and the chants are different; people can be heard chanting “Iran, Iran, Iran.” People are not marching, they are standing still, so it must be from the same timeline also. The first video is therefore blurred on purpose to hide the fact that it was probably altered.show more

The first video is sped up 200% and is... of Trump adhering the Medal of Honor. The second video is not sped up and is of Biden adhering the same Medal of Honor. Which one is more likely to have dementia?show more

This film feels like it was written by VivziePop.... Not just because of the heavy use of profanity, but because most of it takes place in Hell. And to think it's from the same distributor as The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure... Movie: Hell and Back Year: 2015show more

im seeing an alarming amount of ppl saying the... japanese version sounds the exact same as this and like... no?? are we listening to the same japanese version? you can actually hear the emotion in his voice in the sub. it's not robotic and deadpan like it is in the dub.show more

One of the white cars was thrown into the... air and landed upside down, trunk facing forward, right next to a second white car smashed by debris. The black SUV was flipped onto its right side. In two different aftermath footage angles, we can clearly see these exact vehicles in the same positions.show more

Sixers ran the same play seven times in a... row to start the third quarter against the Knicks. They scored all seven times. It yielded six different looks with six different scorers. It's an empty side pick and roll with Maxey/Joel, first look here is to give Joel a face up.show more
