Astronomy Picture of the Day - Artemis 1: Flight Day 13
APOD.NASA.gov ^ | 1 Dec, 2022 | Image Credit: NASA, Artemis 1

Posted on 12/01/2022 1:19:26 PM PST by MtnClimber

Explanation: On flight day 13 (November 28) of the Artemis 1 mission the Orion spacecraft reached its maximum distance from Earth. In fact, over 430,000 kilometers from Earth its distant retrograde orbit also put Orion nearly 70,000 kilometers from the Moon. In the same field of view in this video frame from flight day 13, planet and large natural satellite even appear about the same apparent size from the uncrewed spacecraft's perspective. Today (December 1) should see Orion depart its distant retrograde orbit. En route to planet Earth it will head toward a second powered fly by of the Moon. Splashdown on the home world is expected on December 11.

Earth is about 8x further away than the moon; moon is 40k miles, earth is nearly 300k miles.

Correct,
and they DO NOT appear “about the same size”
from the spacecraftโ€™s perspective in the photo.

I just finished watching the live shot of the rocket firing to bring it back to Earth.

Thanks. This image plus the stats are quite timely and useful in continuation of a previous post from yesterday.

These numbers -- 13, 430, and 70 -- are highly integrated in the Jewish spheres. For example: 13 (echad) = "one", a soul (nefesh) = 430, and 70 is the number of "nefesh" of Jacob that went down to Egypt. Singular, as if one soul of the nation. Or as one day, "yom echad", day "13" as it were.

And add in that the Moon symbolizes the kingdom of David.

(Hey that's just what's out there in the open.)

Now I can see that in NASA "Worm" font (also resurrected for the Ingenuity logo, where the scarlet A is replaced by Ginny the plucky lil helicopter MRS), SLA would be V75 upside-down. V75 was the "royal name" in the cartouche of that earlier post. The cartouche is the Rainbow Pool located near the WAMO, Apollo [11] who was Artemis' twin.

A service-level agreement (SLA) is a commitment between a service provider and a customer. Particular aspects of the service โ€“ quality, availability, responsibilities โ€“ are agreed between the service provider and the service user.[1] The most common component of an SLA is that the services should be provided to the customer as agreed upon in the contract.

As an example, Internet service providers and telcos will commonly include service level agreements within the terms of their contracts with customers to define the level(s) of service being sold in plain language terms.

I love analog time even if no one else cares, because another traditional teaching is that only Israel said "Yes" to the Torah. And that's a cool number story as well because:

Israel = 541
yes = 70
Torah = 611

541 + 70 = 611

Thanks again!

Why are there not any stars visible?

The whole universe is Hebrew school. I mean who hasn't heard by now about Jews in Space?

The "power" of the Schwartz -- koach [ื›ื—] *is* 28. Famous!

Of course I would never last 5 minutes in a regular school because when I read about the tradition that Habakkuk was the boy whom Elisha raised back to life, I knew I'd heard that somewhere before:

"Habakkuk and a smile. Koach adds life!"

Because stars are much dimmer than the sunlit moon and earth. No cameras have the dynamic range of the human eye.

So, just to see if I fully understand, if I were there in space real time, I would see the stars because my eyes are better than the cameras?

Yes. The Apollo astronauts reported that they could see stars during their moonwalks, although few-to-none show up in photographs.
