2024 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE — The most stunning natural phenomenon on Earth, a total solar eclipse, swept across North America today. Here’s the entire sequence as seen from Presque Isle, Maine, under crystal clear skies.
Oops I did it again 🤭 #TotalSolarEclipse
The pic we've been waiting for! Odysseus on the moon. 📸taken yesterday by @Int_Machines "What we've done with this mission is fundamentally changed the economics of landing on the moon." - CEO Steve Altemus
The moment of landing. You can see Odysseus' broken landing leg and the blast from its 3D printed engine spewing lunar regolith (dirt and rocks) everywhere.
New images from the Odysseus lander just dropped and they are 🔥 Story here: cnn.com/2024/02/28/wor…
The EagleCam team is receiving telemetry and are working through next steps with @Int_Machines Mission Control, Stay tuned! #ERAUtotheMoon #EagleCam
Imagine you built an experimental payload and it is going on a test ride to the Moon. Then the spacecraft engineers ask if they can use your *payload* to *navigate* for *lunar landing*, something never planned for, and they write a software patch in lunar orbit, and it WORKS🔥
@KristinFisher Yup. This was next level. A real time patch of autonomous landing software to utilize lasers from our @NASA_Langley Navigation Doppler Lidar (NDL). All done during that extra sightseeing orbit around the Moon. As a colleague said - This team are founding members of a new club.
This is like Apollo 13, but for robotic landers. A desperate in-flight fix. Odysseus’ navigation system wasn’t working. So Intuitive Machines swapped it out for an experimental NASA system that just happened to be on board and…it worked. Wild.

View of the solar eclipse from a Starlink satellite on orbit
2024 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE — The most stunning natural phenomenon on Earth, a total solar eclipse, swept across North America today. Here’s the entire sequence as seen from Presque Isle, Maine, under crystal clear skies.
During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras, and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground. 📹gottigreen
Beautiful view of totality here in Fort Worth! nsf.live/eclipse @NASASpaceflight
@jackiewattles @exploreplanets @BillNye Nice! Here was my view from Dallas! It was a way better view than these shots. ;)
Grab from my GoPro on Delta flight 1010-- two turns in totality so each side could see the eclipse. A once in a lifetime experience!
Oops I did it again 🤭 #TotalSolarEclipse

The Starship mission I just covered happened within 15 hours of the FAA license. My mom drove me to South Padre, and I took Dramamine so I could work the entire 6-hour drive there.
