You heard her voice during lunar flyby, now meet the scientist responsible for coaching astronauts as they observed the Moon. Kelsey Young is a Goddard scientist, Artemis II lunar science lead, and one of three science officers who sat in Mission Control. go.nasa.gov/3Qggabv

Pure class from the #mnwild media relations staff, who have dedicated page one of their playoff guide to our friend and colleague Jessi, and her children.

Every time I look up at the Moon now, even the one at Space Center Houston, it feels different. It’s no longer just a distant light in the night sky — it’s a place I’ve studied up close with my own eyes. I find myself tracing its features, recognizing the shadows, the craters, the quiet stories written across its surface. The Moon hasn’t changed, but now when I observe it, it comes back to life in my mind with a new and treasured perspective.

With Artemis II safely back on Earth, NASA has begun shipping the core stage for the Artemis III rocket to @NASAKennedy. Artemis III will test rendezvous and docking capabilities needed to land Artemis IV astronauts on the Moon in 2028. go.nasa.gov/4e0uXkj

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Lets Go! 🥳 Our polish Protoss @Gerald23sc2 manged to qualify for the TLMC Playoffs!🫡
