Last night I captured an incredibly difficult shot: ISS transiting the moon, while gently kissing Tycho crater as it flies by at 5 miles per second. That crater is 53 miles wide, so while the station almost looks like it's orbiting the moon it's actually 1000x closer to us.

Just a wild year in space. Webb actually worked. NASA smashed into an asteroid. We returned to the freaking Moon. OneWeb launched on a Falcon. BE-4s are 4 real. Starliner soared. SpaceX launched five dozen times. Ingenuity flew on and on and on. Can’t wait to be dazzled in 2023!

Why do I continue to work at Twitter?
First, some backstory…
I was the technical co-founder of Pownce, a social network and early competitor to Twitter. Here’s a video of 25-year-old me talking about Pownce (ht @jdlasica and @seeMOUSErun).
