Romantic antique attire perfect for kôyô (autumn leaves viewing season) depicting small birds in turning maples trees.
The black silk shusu obi is matched with a lovely sanpogi (lit. ”stroll outfit”). Those were beautiful kimono featuring mirror designs on skirt flaps and all over patterns. I believe they were worn as fashionable day dress and were briefly in fashion in Kansai (Osaka?) pre wwii.
A day one sloth will remember for a long time..

Fancy looking neighborhood....but besides the awful infrastructure maybe the bas reliefs aren’t even real.
Follow NASA’s Artemis I Moon Mission: Live Tracker, Latest Images, and Videos
On Nov. 16, 2022, the Artemis I mission officially began with the launch of the Orion spacecraft atop the Space Launch System rocket. The rocket and spacecraft lifted off from historic Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Now, the Orion spacecraft is about halfway through its journey around the Moon. Although the spacecraft is uncrewed, the Artemis I mission prepares us for future missions with astronauts, starting with Artemis II.
Stay up-to-date with the mission with the latest full-resolution images, mission updates, on-demand and live video.
Imagery:
Find full-resolution images from the Orion spacecraft as they are released here.
Launch imagery can be found here. When Orion splashes down in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 11, the images will be available here, as well!
Videos:
This playlist contains informational videos, as well as upcoming and past live events, about Artemis I.
You can watch a livestream of the Artemis I mission here. (Just a note: the livestream may cut off during moments when the Orion team needs higher bandwidth for activities.)
Keep yourself updated on the upcoming broadcasts of Artemis milestones with the NASA TV schedule.
Trackers:
Our Artemis I Tracker shows where the Orion spacecraft is along the trajectory of the mission.
“Eyes on the Solar System” shows where Orion is in relation to other NASA spacecraft and objects in the solar system:
“DSN Now” shows which antenna on Earth’s Deep Space Network is communicating with Orion.
Updates:
Read up on where Orion is and what’s next in the Artemis I mission with the Mission Blog.
Thank you so much for following with us on this historic mission. Go Artemis!
Last month I was so happy to be back in Bordeaux. In particular, I spent a lot of time in Mollat which is a maaaasive bookstore right beside my school tram stop. I could spend hours there <3

If Artemis 1 launches tonight I WILL end up crying. Just watching NASA Live is making me emotional.
GUYS!!!!! IT'S GOING TO LAUNCH IN FIVE MINUTES!!!
I'M BEING SERIOUS
Now Live: Artemis I launch with Astronaut Kayla Barron.
Through Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, paving the way for a long-term lunar presence and serving as a steppingstone to send astronauts to Mars.
Artemis ⅼ Launch l Kennedy Space Center
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” — John F. Kennedy's 1962 "moon" speech

What Makes the Artemis Moon Mission NASA's Next Leap Forward?
When NASA astronauts return to the Moon through Artemis, they will benefit from decades of innovation, research, and technological advancements. We’ll establish long-term lunar science and exploration capabilities at the Moon and inspire a new generation of explorers—the Artemis Generation.
Meet the Space Launch System rocket, or SLS. This next-generation super heavy-lift rocket was designed to send astronauts and their cargo farther into deep space than any rocket we’ve ever built. During liftoff, SLS will produce 8.8 million pounds (4 million kg) of maximum thrust, 15 percent more than the Saturn V rocket.
SLS will launch the Orion spacecraft into deep space. Orion is the only spacecraft capable of human deep space flight and high-speed return to Earth from the vicinity of the Moon. More than just a crew module, Orion has a launch abort system to keep astronauts safe if an emergency happens during launch, and a European-built service module, which is the powerhouse that fuels and propels Orion and keeps astronauts alive with water, oxygen, power, and temperature control.
Orion and SLS will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida with help from Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) teams. EGS operates the systems and facilities necessary to process and launch rockets and spacecraft during assembly, transport, launch, and recovery.
The knowledge we've gained while operating the International Space Station has opened new opportunities for long-term exploration of the Moon's surface. Gateway, a vital component of our Artemis plans, is a Moon-orbiting space station that will serve as a staging post for human expeditions to the lunar surface. Crewed and uncrewed landers that dock to Gateway will be able to transport crew, cargo, and scientific equipment to the surface.
Our astronauts will need a place to live and work on the lunar surface. Artemis Base Camp, our first-ever lunar science base, will include a habitat that can house multiple astronauts and a camper van-style vehicle to support long-distance missions across the Moon’s surface. Apollo astronauts could only stay on the lunar surface for a short while. But as the Artemis base camp evolves, the goal is to allow crew to stay at the lunar surface for up to two months at a time.
The Apollo Program gave humanity its first experience traveling to a foreign world. Now, America and the world are ready for the next era of space exploration. NASA plans to send the first woman and first person of color to the lunar surface and inspire the next generation of explorers.
Our next adventure starts when SLS and Orion roar off the launch pad with Artemis I. Together with commercial and international partners, NASA will establish a long-term presence on the Moon to prepare for missions to Mars. Everything we’ve learned, and everything we will discover, will prepare us to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.

Boo! Did we get you? 🎃
This solar jack-o-lantern, captured by our Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in October 2014, gets its ghoulish grin from active regions on the Sun, which emit more light and energy than the surrounding dark areas. Active regions are markers of an intense and complex set of magnetic fields hovering in the sun’s atmosphere.
The SDO has kept an unblinking eye on the Sun since 2010, recording phenomena like solar flares and coronal loops. It measures the Sun’s interior, atmosphere, magnetic field, and energy output, helping us understand our nearest star.

Today: Stunning ‘Connect’ chair made entirely with a 3Doodler 3D printing pen
If you thought 3Doodled Eiffel Towers were impressive, just wait till you get a look at this absolutely stunning miniature chair made using just a 3Doodler 3D pen. Created by Korean designer Jungsub Shim, the intricately designed chair is an undeniable feat for 3D printing pen art, as well as furniture design.
The 3Doodled chair, dubbed “Connect,” is made up of a complex, handmade lattice structure that is actually capable of supporting a person. So, if you thought 3D pens were only good for silly knick knacks, now might be an appropriate time to reconsider their potential. According to Shim, he worked on the chair for roughly eight hours a day for an entire two months to complete the project.
Gorgeous circle of mushrooms almost two weeks after they emerged.
