You can see their agents at every country fair this summer. Wearing painted faces to hide their identity, and selling balloons to children at inflated prices. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

April 5Apr 5 Moderator If the Artemis crew are planning to observe the far side of the moon surely the best time to do it is when it’s fully lit. That’s only possible when the moon is directly between the sun and the earth. That’s when the side facing Earth is unlit. New moon in other words. Tomorrow is when they arrive around the moon. According to its current phase it’s still far from new. Here’s the current phase. They’d have to stick around another 12 days to see the entire far side. Ray (Cheshire, England).

April 6Apr 6 Author "The far side will be partially lit, creating a dramatic landscape of light and shadow during today's flyby. Because today, April 6, 2026, the Moon is in a Waning Gibbous phase, the Sun is hitting the Moon from the side relative to the astronauts' path. This creates specific lighting conditions that are actually better for science than "full" light." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Based on the scheduled Artemis II mission timeline launched on April 1, 2026, the Orion spacecraft is expected to pass closest to the Moon on Monday, April 6, 2026, at approximately 00:02 BST (which is 7:02 p.m. ET on April 5). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] During this lunar flyby on Day 6 of the mission, the crew will pass around the far side of the Moon at an altitude of approximately 7,400 to 9,600 kilometers (about 4,000–6,000 miles) above the surface. [1, 2] Key Times for the Closest Approach (April 6, 2026): Closest Approach (Perilune): ~00:02 BST (00:02 London time). Loss of Signal (Behind Moon): ~23:44 BST (April 5). Signal Re-acquired ("Earthrise"): ~00:25 BST. [1, 2, 3] For roughly 40-50 minutes around the closest approach, the crew will be on the far side of the Moon and out of contact with Earth" Edited April 6Apr 6 by martin-w
April 6Apr 6 Commercial Member I would imagine partial light creates shadows which can be used to ascertain depth and/or height of features on the surface - they are looking for a landing site and potential building site after all.

April 6Apr 6 Author They have the Nikon Z9 up there, the flagship mirrorless, £2500 just for the body, so we should get some nice images. Z5's, too. Im suprised they haven't got the Hassalblad mirrorless up there with it's big sensor. That was amusing, they were sorting out their cameras and a jar of Nutella floated past. 🤣 Edited April 6Apr 6 by martin-w
