Why it matters
It highlights the accessibility of government-funded scientific data and media, encouraging public engagement with space exploration and history.
Consider this photo of Earth from more than 250,000 miles away, for example, taken from the other side of the moon. Or these widely shared pictures of our home planet from inside the Orion capsule, which were taken using iPhone 17 Pro Max phones. Truly out of this world snaps, but taken using a device many of us have in our pockets.
