We’ve seen some super-detailed photos of different celestial objects taken from space. But now, we have the highest-resolution photos of the Moon ever captured from Earth. And what is particularly interesting, taking them required a transmitter less powerful than a microwave.

Watch: The first ISS moon transition ever captured on 35mm film
Photographer Jason De Freitas has shown us a fantastic lunar eclipse sequence and a timelapse of the Milky Way. What’s special about these projects is that they were shot entirely on 35mm film.
Now Jason has done it again. Using his film camera and a telescope, he shot what seems to be the Holy Grail of astrophotography lately: the ISS transitioning the moon. What’s more, it’s probably the first ISS transit captured on 35mm, ever!
Korean lunar orbiter shares mysterious black-and-white photos of Earth and Moon
The Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), officially Danuri, reached the Moon’s orbit in December 2022. It has returned its very first images of our planet and its natural satellite, and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) recently published them for the world to see.
While they show the same planet, the photos are nothing like the famous Blue Marble. They’re black and white, showing our planet in a different, more mysterious light. It even looks a bit eerie!
NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveals the fiery beauty of Jupiter’s moon Io
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has treated us with some stunning photos of Jupiter and its moons, Ganymede and Europa. But now, the mission to Jupiter has turned its cameras on sister moon Io. And in this family of moons, this is the sister that’s got a temper!
Io is the most volcanic place in the solar system, with eruptions raging all over its surface. Juno captured them in a photo, revealing the red-hot beauty and temper of Jupiter’s moon.
See the first photos of Earth sent back from Japan’s private moon mission
The first private mission to land safely on the moon is currently underway, and we’ve finally been treated to seeing some of the images sent back from space. Hakuto-R is said to be off to a good start, and judging by the images, it certainly looks that way.
At first glance, it looks like a photo of a crescent moon, a fingernail sliver that we are so accustomed to seeing. However, these images are of our own planet, a sort of farewell last look back as the rocket leaves Earth.
Two photographers will fly past the moon in SpaceX mission
Two photographers have been chosen to make up an 8-person crew of artists to fly around the moon. Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa commissioned the SpaceX mission, which will be the first of its kind.
The crew consists of eight artists from a range of disciplines — an EDM DJ, two photographers, a documentary filmmaker, and a YouTuber, along with other creative professionals.
Photographer “goes to Moon” for this photo of Mars… without leaving his backyard
It’s not common anymore that I come across photos on Instagram, especially those that stop me in my tracks. But when it happens – oh boy do I get amazed! One of the people who always blows my mind with his images is Andrew McCarthy, and it happened the other day with his latest image of Mars and the Moon.
The celestial objects were perfectly lined for a shot that looks like it was taken from the Moon. Of course, we can’t go there (yet), and Andrew didn’t even leave his backyard for this image. He told DIYP a bit more about how he took it and shared the magnificent photos with our readers so we can all admire it together.
NASA’s Orion spacecraft sends back first detailed photos of the moon
NASA’s Artemis I mission has been under the spotlight lately, and we recently saw Orion’s stunning video of the Earth “setting” behind the moon. On its sixth flight day, the spacecraft took detailed shots of the moon’s surface. NASA shared it with the public so that you can look up close at our home planet’s natural satellite.
Watch: The Earth setting behind the Moon as seen by Artemis 1’s Orion spacecraft
NASA’s Artemis program wants to place astronauts on the lunar surface, and it’s successfully completed its first step of this long journey. The Artemis 1 mission has reached its destination, and we’re already getting some marvelous shots showing us our planet in an entirely new context.
While we normally see the moon rise and set. But in a recent video Artemis 1 sent back to earth, we see our planet as it sets behind the moon – and it’s absolutely magical to watch.
The only photo of Neil Armstrong on the moon could fetch $30,000 on an auction
