Amelia Earhart stands in front of her Lockheed Electra 10e aeroplane, arms stretched to touch each of the twin propellers.
The Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank rising out of the Cheshire plain. A bank of forest is in the foreground and a TUI aeroplane flies directly above the telescope.
An almost full moon hangs in a dusky blue sky. In the foreground, out of focus are the silhouette of a bush and a house roof.
CAPCOM: “No deltas. One final note. The cell in the burn notes that talks about if BFS engages does have about two rows worth of text, so you may need to expand it to see all of it” INTEGRITY: “Jackie, that is a _great_ call, thank you for the information” CAPCOM: “That is everything we had for the burn conference”.

Screenshot of the livestream of NASA’s Artemis II mission coverage, showing Mission Control with capcom station shown. The capcom is listening to Christina Koch explain troubles connecting the medical tablet to the ECG device. The subtitle in view says “would be to forget and reconnect the device”
The January 2026 supermoon hangs yellow and large in the dawn sky above a building and young tree
A close crop of a telephoto view of the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank observatory, pointing left and slightly up, framed against a grey sky, with fog-hazed forest in the foreground. The large radio telescope takes up a third of the width of the photo, and a sixth of the height, dwarfing the trees beneath it. At its base sits the Mark II telescope, and the 42ft telescope is just visible behind it.
A view of the Knutsford Road Bridge and Thelwall Locks on the Manchester Ship Canal near Warringron, looking NE from the Cantilever Bridge. Dense autumn trees line the canal on both sides.
A close up photo of a pigeon sitting stoically on a garden fence in torrential rain. Droplets are bouncing off its back, looking like streaks due to the slightly long exposure.
A closeup photo of the moon, bright and orange-looking.
A side-on photo of the Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank during the Blood Moon of August 2023. The bottom third of the image is silhouetted treeline, with the telescope rising out of it on the left, and the blood moon bright in the sky on the right, looking more like the sun than the moon.
Photo of the October 2024 Aurora at Jodrell Bank. The sky is filled with red aurora patterns, with a soft green band cutting across the middle. The Lovell radio telescope is visible in the bottom right, tinged red by the aurora. The silhouette of trees covers the bottom 1/6th of the photo. Toward the left of the photo from behind the treeline, a bright light from another building at the site flares in a star shape.
