This has way too many special effects for my tastes. People are going to the Moon, it doesn't need hyping up.

That is fucking awesome.
Somehow I've not really paying that much attention, which is weird cause I've been on this reading marathon after not really reading since I was a kid, and it's all sci-fi. Lots of space.
That first orbit maneuver is so cool. Distances scaled correctly? I guess I just mean 1px in x and in y are equal? I'm often telling people the moon is quite far away. It would be even better with earth and moon diameter to scale.
Pretty sure the distances are to scale. It would be harder to see things if they also sized the Earth and Moon correctly, but there are some good images that show them fully to scale.
Thanks for the link!
Which season of The Expanse is this intro from?
What's all the stuff that looks like rain?
200ok@lemmy.world Solar wind.
I searched for graphics ("images") depicting solar wind and that's totally it. Thank you!
I'm guessing it's radiation. It's bouncing off of the planets atmosphere.
Magnetosphere mostly. Only the part that's funneled along the field lines towards the poles makes it to the atmosphere, where it might be visible as aurora.
Magnetosphere?
I'm no magnetologist.
I think so? I'm not 100% so i just said atmosphere as a catch all
