The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."
ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

Last Christmas, @ChandraXray gave us a cluster of stars. This year, new telescope views (combined with Chandra data) gave us something special: go.nasa.gov/3DI9H2s
ALT Wispy green clouds in a conical shape strongly resemble an evergreen tree. Tiny specks of white, blue, purple, and red light, stars within the cluster, dot the structure, turning the cloud into a festive, cosmic Christmas tree.
"The Pierces' message is never stop fighting because there is no limit to what you can overcome."
Great story by Sarah Michals at @wxyzdetroit, sharing progress made by Sawyer at @MFBrehab following his traumatic brain injury.
No one thought it was possible that 28-year-old Sawyer Pierce could be alive after a drunk driver crossed four lanes of traffic and hit his car head-on in White Lake in August.

We are all in search of feeling more connected to reality—to other people, the times we live in, the natural world, our character, and our own uniqueness.
Our culture increasingly tends to separate us from these realities in various ways.
We indulge in drugs or alcohol, or engage in dangerous sports or risky behavior, just to wake ourselves up from the sleep of our daily existence and feel a heightened sense of connection to reality.
In the end, however, the most satisfying and powerful way to feel this connection is through creative activity.
Engaged in the creative process we feel more alive than ever, because we are making something and not merely consuming, Masters of the small reality we create.
In doing this work, we are in fact creating ourselves.
