The Artemis astronauts and ISS astronauts just talked to each other over the feed in space and that immediately shifted my mood so maybe it will help you too!

New over here so introducing myself with some commentary on Artemis II!

Such an exciting moment for science! Total solar eclipses are such awesome views, it’s so amazing they had close to an hour to observe this one!

NASA’s Artemis II crew experience total solar eclipse from space From the perspective of the Orion capsule, the moon will fully block the sun’s disk for nearly an hour

The crew of Artemis II is experiencing a total solar eclipse RIGHT NOW from just a few thousand miles above the lunar surface. Here's why it's cool and what they could see 🧪 🔭

Kelsey is the best! So exciting to see and hear this!

For a sneak peek of today's Earthrise moment: Ernie Wright just published a visualization of today's Artemis II Lunar flyby: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5633/ #artemisii #nasa

The more I look at the moon the browner and browner it looks”

Yup. The Moon is brown.

#ArtemisII astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this photo on his iPhone on their closest approach to the moon! Follow along live www.youtube.com/live/z-j1uxB...

If you’re watching the #Artemis II livestream you’re probably hearing the word “albedo” a lot, but what does it mean?
It’s simply a measure of how reflective a surface is. If a surface absorbs all incoming radiation it has an albedo of 0, if it reflects all of it albedo is 1 (1/n) 🧪🔭

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here"

Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

If you're following along today for the #ArtemisII flyby, here's some notes on what to expect. 🧪🔭🚀🌘

Got to witness history today when the Orion capsule listed off from the pad at KSC. #NASA #Artemis #goforlaunch

Seeing it on Wednesday night! So excited.

Happy " International Space Station Is As Big As A Football Field Day" for those who observe and celebrate.

Thanks for your hard work today!!

Our first speaker tonight is Elana Resnick!

Happening tonight in Baltimore!

🌟Heads up, Aurora Watchers, tonight could be an exciting event!

Yesterday's CME associated with the X1.9 flare is headed our way. Estimated to reach us starting 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT.

⚠️Meaning aurora may be observed starting at that time, even on the horizon in the lower U.S.

🌟 Storm update: The CME hit Earth at ~2:38 a.m. ET, driving G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm levels. If it’s dark where you are, look north—auroras may be visible far south of usual. Happy hunting! 🌌
