Why are all the photos this part of the earth? (Not a flat earther, genuinely curious)

Isn’t Artemis mostly facing the night side of earth for much of the journey since it was traveling to a full moon? Now the moon will keep moving past us into waning phases but our return trajectory is still mostly on the night side right?

This is probably a stupid question, but would the sun be way too bright to look at or take a photo of ?

So the question is, why does this universe exist?

When watching. I heard on the live feed. The Astronauts were reminded to wear the special protective eyewear, when doing the Eclipse photography work.
Just as we would on Earth.

Yeah they mentioned that on the stream too. Same idea as here, just way higher stakes up there

Anyone got a map version of this pic?
Edit: I figured it out! Africa on the bottom left, with spain/portugal down below (that touching point between Europe and Africa is so cool), and Brazil on the top right. Its “upside down”.

Wow. I guess I’ll wait for the images and videos after the fact.
It’s cool to know it’s happening, but the coverage and the quality of the media is shameful.
70 years and billions of dollars.
They should just do better. No excuses.

The dotted lights show the towns, cities, and settlements. It shows how tiny we are. Yet our egos are larger than the universe.

Why is Glover giving us religious sermons from the moon? It’s highly disappointing using the best science vessel humanity has right now for this type of bs. It’s so disrespectful and selfish.
