Musk’s Moon mania
"
"If he still wants to achieve a goal he has long mentioned of dying on Mars—“just not on impact,” he would frequently add—a focus in the near term on the Moon needs to be an enabler if not accelerator of his Mars vision, not a diversion."

This is a real timelapse video of the Moon transiting in front of the Earth.

It was captured by the Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft in November 2022 while flying at it's furthest point from the Earth.
The video covers about 3.75 hours of real time.

The young crescent moon occulted Mercury today...as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

First photo is a telephoto shot of the moon only a minute after it uncovered our innermost planet. This was taken in bright twilight as a wind and dust storm was easing up.

Second photo is a wider angle shot ten minutes later that includes Venus in the bottom third of the frame. The evening twilight sky colors are pallid because of the dust storm clouds billowing a mile below me on the floor of the Tularosa basin.

Heute Abend solltet ihr nach Sonnenuntergang tief im Südwesten die schmale Mondsichel finden. Links über ihr steht Saturn und rechts unterhalb sollte der flinke Merkur zu sehen sein. Viel Glück.
