It’s unfortunate at best. Everyone likes our old churches except the Church.

So I saw “Disclosure Day”. At the end, we’re told to listen. The Music Theory major in me did listen, and the last few notes of the score are a nod to the ET theme, but in a minor mode. So I think we’re listening for that - its a sad theme. And, it’s a sad situation when hatred and fear rule, when intellectual curiosity and wonder might.

And now, brethren, all that rings true, all that commands reverence, and all that makes for right; all that is pure, all that is lovely, all that is gracious in the telling; virtue and merit, wherever virtue and merit are found—let this be the argument of your thoughts. Philippians 4:8

Long post, but this one is important to me so I hope you stick it out! In January I reached out to Artemis II Commander @astro_reid with a simple ask- was he open to capturing the moon like I do for my colorful moon photos during the flyby? He humbly agreed, and we worked out a plan to incorporate into the photos captured as the crew approached the moon. The premise was simple- just capture enough photos in a burst to allow for image stacking to improve image fidelity, potentially to reveal color no human has ever captured. What he brought back was nothing short of magnificent. When I initially stacked the raw photos, it exceeded my expectations by far. The color came right out of the seemingly gray images, and showed details I've never seen before. It's possible nobody has. The lack of atmosphere meant a lot of color normally absorbed and scattered was present, so even the "near side" features looked exotic and unfamiliar. This view of the moon from an alien perspective made the usually-familiar lunar surface fresh and exciting, and the color we were able to resolve gave us valuable insight to the complex geological history of it's battered surface. Then, I faced a bit of a moral dilemma. I wanted people to be able to own these images in print- but I wouldn't feel right to profit off of them. As an active NASA astronaut, Reid certainly can't. He took these photos as part of a taxpayer-funded mission. If I couldn't split profits with him I didn't see a way to do this ethically, so I decided to release the images initially with no print offering, despite many requests! Then, it clicked. After doing some research- I decided that I should do a print sale where the profits go 100% to charity. That way I can make prints available, do some good in the world, and it doesn't feel like an ethical conflict. I'm pleased to share my first EVER entirely-for-charity print release. At the end of this sale all proceeds with be donated to UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. It feels fitting. I will follow up in a future post with a receipt from the donation, so you know how much we were able to donate. When I released this to my email subscribers only, we were already able to raise around $15k. Amazing! The limited edition fine art print is now publicly available, you can grab one of them at the link in my bio (also linked further in the thread) for a short time. Thank you for helping me do something good with my platform. Seriously... it feels amazing.

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time! The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

The footnote to this text, Matthew 11:12, in the Douay-Rheims explains: "It is not to be obtained but by main force, by using violence upon ourselves, by mortification and penance, and resisting our perverse inclinations."
