   Pretty wild that you can have a browser tab open with a live feed from a spacecraft on the far side of the Moon.

     The craft is about 265,000 miles from Earth right now, so the travel time for the signal is a bit less than 1.5 seconds. The feed is more or less live.

     @acasalotti A little less than 1.5 light-seconds.

     @mcnees Why do you keep talking about miles? How far is that, in the language that science (and the whole world) speaks?
