NASA’s Artemis II carried multiple cameras, including a Nikon D5 DSLR, a Nikon Z9, an iPhone 17 Pro and action cams, prompting buzz about the D5’s enduring relevance. Photographers say newer gear isn’t everything and that lens quality and technique often matter more than the body, with the mission’s images showing older cameras can still produce spectacular Earth–Moon views during the lunar flyby and observations.
Architectural photographer Mike Kelley photographed NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in 2018 to document the construction of the Orion capsule and SLS rocket for Artemis II; using tilt-shift lenses to preserve scale and form, his images offer a rare architectural view of the build and its context ahead of the mission.

Mike Florio reports that the New York Post’s Page Six story about photos of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel with Dianna Russini raises questions about how the Post obtained them, with speculation that either a freelancer or the Post sourced the images; Vrabel and Russini deny any impropriety, and the piece notes it is unlikely the encounter was incidental, suggesting someone tipped off or actively sought the photos, leaving open who provided the tip, whether there were pre-publication discussions, and what steps were taken before publication.

April 2026 offers a dramatic night sky for astrophotographers: the Pink Moon rises with sunset near Spica, a chance for striking foreground shots; Comet MAPS (C/2026 A1) may appear in twilight low in the western sky around perihelion; mid-April (10–20) provides dark skies for galaxy imaging (Leo Triplet, M104, M101, M81, M82); crescent Moon–Mercury–Mars conjunctions around Apr 13–15, and Venus with a crescent Moon on Apr 18; the Lyrid meteor shower peaks Apr 21–22 under good skies (15–20 meteors/hr); southern hemisphere observers may see Eta Aquariids. Practical tips include using a 300–600mm lens for close Moon shots, 200–400mm for Moon-and-planet pairs, and wide 14–24mm glass for meteors, with ISO 800–1600 and 20–30 second exposures; plan with a moonrise calculator and scout an eastern horizon foreground for best results.
Photos often embed EXIF metadata with GPS coordinates that can reveal where you were; you can view this data in Google Photos, Apple Photos, Windows, and macOS, and remove or wipe location data using built-in tools (e.g., Apple Photos) or dedicated apps such as ExifTool or ExifViewer.Pro. You can also stop saving location by denying camera location access on Android or iOS, though that may limit location-based search in photo apps. Some sites automatically strip location data when you upload images.
A photo by NASA astronaut Don Pettit from the International Space Station that looked like a purple, tentacled egg sparked online speculation of an alien object, but Pettit later explained it was a purple potato grown during Expedition 72 as part of space gardening, a nod to The Martian and the future of long‑duration missions.

A 30‑minute composite by Alan Dyer shows satellite trails across the night sky, illustrating how the rapid growth of orbital satellites is increasing light pollution for astrophotography. A 2025 survey found 90% of astrophotographers affected; with Starlink's 10,000th satellite launched and estimates of tens of thousands more, experts warn the practice could degrade night-sky photography unless shooters time sessions to minimize satellite trails.
