    Some of these images from the lunar observations gives me a weird perspective where the moon is really small and the features are like rain drops in really soft sand. Not sure if it's because my brain "knows" the size of the earth, and is seeing the moon as super close and forcing the perspective??? This one in particular: https://artemistimeline.com/#a-setting-earth

      I don't there's anything we interact with that has a texture much like the moon's surface.

      That would be a cool science museum exhibit: a recreation of regolith and perhaps visitors can interact with it in a glovebox or drive an RC car.

    Hank Green has a video walking through how to use the timeline here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyZE9VWJjDA. For me, the best experience was to click "Crew Photos Only" and then step through the photos chronologically with the arrow buttons.

      Cool! Honestly though, just hitting the "right arrow" button on my keyboard it was a blast. Such a great mix of photos and short vids, several clearly impromptu and unvarnished, felt real.

    April 6th is probably the best advertisement Nutella could ever make.
