That looks like the perfect location for a base
The eclipse from Orion.
On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.
ALT The Moon, backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse, is photographed by NASA\u2019s Orion spacecraft. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon\u2019s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

Today, @JAXA_en is scheduled to launch its Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission. Aboard is MEGANE, an instrument built by Johns Hopkins APL for @NASA that will study Phobos' elemental composition to help uncover the origins of Mars' moons.
ALT Today, JAXA is scheduled to launch the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission from Japan. With an instrument built by Johns Hopkins APL for NASA aboard, MMX will investigate whether Mars' moons formed from debris following an impact on Mars or are asteroids captured by its gravity.
ALT Built by Johns Hopkins APL on behalf of NASA, MEGANE is a neutron and gamma-ray spectrometer that will study Phobos, the larger of Mars' two moons. By measuring neutrons and gamma rays emitted from its surface, MEGANE will help scientists determine which elements make up the moon.
ALT As MMX makes repeated passes over Phobos, MEGANE will collect measurements that scientists can use to map the moon’s elemental composition. This illustration shows what a map of Phobos’ elemental composition could look like based on MEGANE’s future measurements. These maps could provide important clues about how Phobos formed.

🇯🇵 Japan is one of the few to successfully return samples from deep space. While Phobos is small, it is orders of magnitude larger than Ryugu & Itokawa, enough to support wheeled rover and sophisticated robotic arm coring to extract deeper, higher-volume regolith samples
#JPSPACE
I slowed JAXA's 20x animation of the #MMX IDEFIX rover deployment down to 1x real time so you can see just how weak Phobos gravity is (~1/1,700th of Earth).

Orbital Launch No. 241 of 2026 🇯🇵🚀🔴🌒🛰️
MMX | MHI | October 19 | 1941 UTC
@MHI_LS to launch @Jaxa_en's Martin Moons eXploration (MMX) mission on its H3🚀 from Tanegashima LA-Y2.
MMX is a JAXA-led effort, in partnership with @NASA, @CNES, @DLR, and @ESA, to study Mars’ moons Phobos and Deimos and return at least 10 grams of Phobos material to Earth—the first sample return from the Martian system.

A Russian Shahed struck a park near a café in the Kharkiv region. Six people were killed, including one-year-old in her stroller and an 11-year-old girl. Fourteen were wounded, six of them children.

@ZelenskyyUa
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Russians have just murdered a baby and two women that were walking in a public park in Kharkiv.
This is the face of genocide in the 21st century.
Now, under U.S. protection, Russia is inflicting massacres at the highest level of the war, all across Ukraine.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: A terrible Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. “Shahed” actually hit people directly – in a park near an ordinary cafe. Absolute atrocity. Six people died, including children.
A girl was killed in a wheelchair. Her name was Angelina, she was a little over a year old, she was born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna, she died in the hospital…
The other girl killed was 11 years old. My condolences to her family and friends. Another 14 people were injured, including six children.
We need air defense for Ukraine. We cannot think about money with Russia while it continues its stupid war. We ask NOT to lift sanctions on Russia until the killings stop.
We ask America to be strong, we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask it to do everything possible so that peace comes and security is guaranteed. Ukraine wants peace.
It is Russia that has been insisting on the continuation of the killings all this time. The world has enough power to stop the war. We must finally use this power – against the killers.

Satellite imagery analyzed by ABSReliable shows damage from the October 18 strikes in St. Petersburg. At the St. Petersburg oil terminal, three storage tanks were damaged by fire, with one completely destroyed. At the Ruchyi oil depot, one 5,000 m³ tank was destroyed and a 1,000 m³ tank damaged. More than 10,000 m² burned at an OZON logistics hub, while damage was also visible on two bridges. #Russia

On October 11, in response to Russian aggression, the Defense Forces of Ukraine launched a massive strike on Yandex data centers—facilities used by the aggressor for military purposes—located in the "Energetik" area on the outskirts of the city of Vladimir.
We are releasing a satellite image showing that the strikes hit 5 out of 8 buildings, three of which appear to have sustained critical damage.
It is worth noting that the "Galushkin" supercomputer—one of the most powerful supercomputers owned by the Russian company Yandex—was also struck. This system was used directly for training and supporting the company's flagship large language model, YandexGPT (as well as its voice assistant, "Alice").
