The view from the #Orion of the far side of the Moon and Earth just before LOS - the crucial burn should have happened by now, and AOS is expected in a few minutes.
The far side of the #Moon, imaged today by the #Orion spacecraft (left) and two days ago by Italy's #ArgoMoon, one of the ten CubeSats launched together with her: esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… and asi.it/2022/11/nuovo-…, respectively. Both views are dominated by the Mare Orientale.
Several high-resolution photographs - not video stills - of #Orion approaching the #Moon today have now appeared in the album flickr.com/photos/nasa2ex… - scroll down!
Ah, *this* is the reason the #Moon appears so bright in the #Orion approach pictures ... the #GoPro camera fired its flash! Really, look it up at flickr.com/photos/nasa2ex… ;-)

How the annular solar #eclipse trip to #Oman began in the wee hours today: With an accident, a closed track, cancelled trains, a EUR 50 taxi trip to another station, but I'm moving, kind of.
Hey, something good came out of the train trouble this morning: @DB_Bahn offering free coffee! Image
@DB_Bahn Sunrise behind the plane that will soon take us from Frankfurt to Muscat, Oman. Further destinations there include Nizwa, a camp in the desert and the island Masirah for the eclipse on the 26th. Image

There will be a #Hayabusa2 post-touchdown press conference at 2:00 UTC today (tonight), streaming at - I reckon it'll be in Japanese only. (And 15 minutes after the #Falcon9 lift-off if that happens on time - space action around the clock ... :-)
Nothing noteworthy noted while @haya2e_jaxa was at "gate 5", so it's returning to its standard parking position in 20 km distance from #Ryugu now - the webcast is over, and it's unlikely we'll learn more before the press conference in 1 1/2 hours.
Looks like at we will get the #Hayabusa2 post-touchdown press conference at the top of the hour with an *English* translation. (While at the @SpaceX webcast should still be running - just not enough time for so much space ... ;-)
