We Just Got a Clear Photo of a Two-Headed Asteroid 62 Million Miles From Earth

When Delkin announced the Valor Pro memory card last week , I had to admit the branding is certainly bold, but ultimately what matters is whether the performance backs it up. It was a lot, but in the end it doesn’t matter what the card looks like, it matters how it performs.
I’m happy that Delkin sponsored this Showcase so we could dedicate the time necessary to really put this 1TB CFexpress Type B card (DCBVP1T) through its paces, which is not something we typically

I bring five cameras

Footage taken by French astronaut Adenot is particularly spellbinding. She shared the timelapse last week to her social media channels, which she captured on Day 139 of her mission during orbit 2155.
