NASA shared a comparison of Earth in 1972 and 2026.
On April 3, NASA posted two images taken nearly 54 years apart. The first was captured during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, the final Apollo mission to land humans on the Moon.
Almost 54 years later, a new image comes from the Artemis II crew, who will orbit the Moon on a 10 day mission as preparation for a planned human return and landing on the Moon in 2028.

MANILA, Philippines — Rising fuel prices driven by the conflict in the Middle East are affecting construction costs for Philippine infrastructure projects, but contractors say progress on major railway projects remains largely on schedule.
The MMSP is the Philippines’ first underground rail line, planned to stretch roughly 33 kilometers from Valenzuela City in the north to Valenzuela City to Bicutan in Taguig, with a spur line to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport area in Pasay City. It has multiple stations serving key urban districts.
