The Orion spacecraft captured this incredible photo as it passed by the Moon on its way home back to Earth.
NASA's Orion spacecraft has captured a photo of it with the Earth and Moon in the background from its maximum distance away: 268,563 miles. Orion has now traveled farther away from Earth than any other spacecraft built for humans.
The Orion spacecraft sent back a series of selfies and photos of Earth just before it sailed past the Moon today.
A photographer captured the aurora lights and details from the Orion constellation that have never been captured in the same image before.
NASA's Artemis Rocket, carrying the Orion spacecraft, successfully lifted off today and is en route to the Moon. Equipped with multiple cameras, Orion is expected to capture many new high-resolution photos of the Earth and Moon.
How much of an impact does light pollution have on how we see the night sky? Photographer Sriram Murali has created a new video that aims to show us the answer.
Here's a tutorial that will teach you how to photograph and process one of the most colorful parts of the night sky, the Orion constellation. It will walk you through all the steps of planning, shooting, and processing a photograph of Orion and the colorful features in it.
The saying goes, "your cell phone has more computing power than all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man to the moon. We launched a bird into pigs."
Thankfully, in addition to launching furious balls of feathers into evil swine, we also use our phones for taking photographs. And just as our phones have more computing power than all of NASA in 1969, our phones also have better imaging capabilities than many of the astrophotography endeavors of the past.
When physics professor and amateur photographer Isidro Villo says he's taking you on a time-lapse journey to the Orion Nebula, he means it quite literally. He doesn't just track Orion across the sky or create yet another Milky Way time-lapse, he literally zooms from ground level all the way in until M42 takes up the entire frame.
Ever since June of 2011, NASA has had cause to retire the photographic equipment it used to capture shuttle launches because, well, they don't plan on launching any more shuttles. But before that decision was made, it looks like NASA was finally giving digital photographic equipment a chance to oust the analog cameras they had always used in the past.
