NASA on Instagram: "POV: You’re looking at the Moon outside of your window on the Orion spacecraft. This visualization simulates what the crew of Artemis II might see out the Orion windows on the day of their closest approach to the Moon. It compresses 36 hours into a little more than a minute as it flies the virtual camera on a realistic trajectory that swings the spacecraft around the Moon's far side. Next year, the Artemis II astronauts could be the first humans to see some parts of the Moon’

Galaxies on Instagram: "On a clear, dark night with no light pollution, the human eye can see about 2,500 to 3,000 stars at once from any one location on Earth. That’s out of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 visible to the naked eye total (since half the sky is below the horizon). If you use binoculars or a telescope, that number jumps into the hundreds of thousands to millions, depending on the equipment and conditions. But with just your eyes, around 3,000 max is what you’ll see under perfect skies."
