The profile of the second EVA was completely different to the previous day's; the deployment of the ALSEP had been completed so it was now time to venture further afield and explore the area. Shortly after reaching the surface, the astronauts set off to the east with the goal of climbing to the rim of the nearby Cone Crater.
The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth has been collecting and categorizing photos taken by astronauts. They see Earth from an altitude of about 250 miles as the station travels at a speed ...
Astronomical pictures, like observational astronomy and photography from space exploration, show astronomical objects and phenomena in different colors and brightness, and often as composite images. This is done to highlight different features or reflect different conditions, and makes the note of these conditions necessary.

Moonlight planners have proposed creating a new time zone for the Moon for this purpose, culminating in the introduction of the Coordinated Lunar Time standard in 2024. [84] Due to the lower gravity and relative motion, time passes more quickly on the Moon, making every 24-hour period elapse 56 microseconds early when measured from Earth. [85]
Nasa astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara accidentally dropped their toolbox as they carried out maintenance work on the International Space Station on 2 November. The small bag can be seen ...
