Bright rainbow arcing above a house and starting from some fresh green-leaves trees. A fainter second rainbow above it against very dark skies.
Good morning! How are you feeling? Another loose ends and chores sort of a day. Sun is out so I will have to go and stroll in it while I can. Foolishly put my washing out and then huge rain/hail storm hit yesterday! Good rainbows at least. #StayBright
Solar system quilt made for the Royal Astronomical Society’s 200th anniversary, white thread on black background with Sun in the middle, planets in orbit, and lots of little beads
Good morning! How are you feeling? Back to Earth with a bump for me. Appointment at the dentist and water switched off in the middle of my shower! Then to tidy up the chaos that built up over the course of the past fortnight! Missing Artemis already. #StayBright
Artemis II crew in their astronaut blue suits and black baseball caps. Standing together full of joy and being photographed.
Good morning! How are you feeling? I’ve had a most wonderful long sleep, but feeling a bit dehydrated. Lovely to see some friends last night and see the Artemis II crew speaking after their mission. #StayBright
Kate Arkless Gray and Sky News Gillian Joseph in the special Artemis II splashdown programme studio. The Moon in the background with an orange trajectory curving around it.
Good morning! How are you feeling? I am.. wow. Just on way home from my last Artemis II update on Sky News and feeling a bit emotional about the end of an amazing mission and an amazing 10 days. I truly love talking about space - don’t want to come back down to Earth. #StayBright
Bookshelf at the Royal Astronomical Society totally packed with books about the Moon
Good morning! How are you feeling? Morning Artemis II update done - *very* busy night ahead with the Sky News splashdown special and a couple of other bits ahead of that. Really hoping they have a totally perfect splashdown. #StayBright
Sky News studio with the cameras in the foreground and the awesome space background showing the Moon on a huge screen
Good morning! How are you feeling? Another nice space chat on Sky News this morning and having a stroll by the river in the sunshine. Going to be part of the Sky News Artemis II splashdown special Friday evening - not sure when I’ll come down to Earth though! #StayBright
Lots of different coloured tulips and a dark pink flowered tree. Quite geometric building in the background catching some golden hour sun
Good morning! How are you feeling? I am relieved a civilisation didn’t get wiped out overnight. My 0930 space update on Sky was cancelled due to all the other big news so I have caught up on a bit of sleep. Much needed. #StayBright
Sky presenter Jonathan Samuels, astronaut and former NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, and me - SpaceKate - grinning the widest grin.
Good morning! How are you feeling? What a whirlwind! I’m scared I’ll wake up. Have been doing my dream job explaining space stuff on Sky News for the past few days and I am over the Moon that the astronauts have been round it! Honoured to share a screen with Charlie Bolden! #StayBright
Blue skies, fluffy clouds, trees and a pond, with green grass up to the edge and the water reflecting the sky
Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m shattered but excited! Today is lunar fly-by day - wowwee! Will be on Sky’s special programme about it this evening. Had a stroll in the forest and felt real joy at being in the sun and in nature on this pale blue dot of ours. #StayBright
Screengrab of a tweet from Pat Sharp: @Radiokate great to see you looking so well on the telly Kate and super interesting and informative as always @SpaceKate Happy Easter.
Good morning! How are you feeling? I continue living my best - most improbable - life, doing daily Sky News Artemis II updates and getting a shout out from Pat Sharp! Nevermind bright, I am glowing - and giggling. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I just learned on live TV that I am so tired I can’t complete coherent sentences. Oops. Might have a little nap so I do better on the evening update. 😳 We’re going to the Moon! #StayBright
Kate in studio with Sky News presenter Leia in front of a huge backdrop that reads Moon Mission Artemis II
Good morning! How are you feeling? I am tired and wired. So excited about this Moon mission and getting to be part of the Sky News coverage is great fun! Back on in the 1830 slot today. ☺️ #StayBright
Screengrab from NASA livestream showing launch of the SLS rocket against a blue sky,
Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m both tired and wired - lots of Artemis II excitement yesterday and this afternoon I’ll be on Sky News talking about the mission! Woke up (too) early and had to check in the crew and been awake since! Exciting though. #StayBright

Lego SLS launch platform and start of the SLS rocket body
Good morning! How are you feeling? I am getting excited about potential rocket launch to the Moon this evening. Not long now until the Go/No Go poll for starting to load the propellant. Fingers crossed no hydrogen leaks this time! Meanwhile I’m building my Lego SLS! #StayBright
Part built Lego launch tower for the SLS rocket
Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m starting to catch the launch fever energy from friends on the space coast. Really wish I was there.. building my Lego SLS instead! Currently looking v positive for launch tomorrow! Back to the Moon! Let’s go! #StayBright
Image of “the glass box” news studio at Sky News. It just out over the atrium and has glass walls. You see lights hanging from a rig above presenter desk, and floor manager sorting something on the table.
Good morning! How are you feeling? Spent the majority of my day at Sky News yesterday getting excited about humanity is capable of when it works together. Sadly my space segments were inbetween war and attempted-murder news. I’ll stick with hope. #StayBright
Artemis II mission patch against green background of my dress. Shaped like an upside down diamond it shows Earth, the Moon, AII and the crew surnames. A red swoosh shows their path and indicates a further goal of getting to Mars.
Good morn-afternoon! How are you feeling? Remember to change the clocks (UK folk)? I’m off to Sky News for an afternoon of talking about Artemis II - launch is starting to feel real. Have become a bit obsessed with their survival suits..! #StayBright
Images shows a T-38 jet and two of the Artemis II crew in their blue boiler suits behind a sign with the Artemis II mission patch and crew names. Let’s go to the Moon!
Good morning! How are you feeling? I am a little spaced out (no pun intended) but taking myself out for a walk while the sun is out. Getting closer to sending humans out of Earth orbit for the first time in over 50 years. Exciting! #StayBright
Image shows theatre stage with a lot up orange circle framing it. At the back is a sign for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. A few heads of people just leaving the theatre at the bottom.
Good morning! How are you feeling? Long day yesterday, but enjoyed the theatre. If you’re going to see The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, remember to take some tissues. Very good, very emotional. Not quite what I thought it was going to be. Right - focus time. #StayBright
Two soggy panda slippers drying in the window, they look like an old couple staring out at the garden. A small I sort rose plant is beside them with a single red rose.
Good morning! How are you feeling? Busy day ahead, featuring trains, MRI and theatre. Perhaps I will treat myself to a jigsaw once I’ve finished my work tomorrow. Still a little dazed. #StayBright
Cluster of dark pink towers on a bush
Good morning! How are you feeling? Decided to pop out for a walk while the sun was shining, and quickly encountered blustery wind and a hail storm! Best laid plans eh? Doing a bit of word wrangling today. #StayBright
Yellow lion cake with a mane of yellow-iced cupcakes and spaghetti whiskers!
Good morning! How are you feeling? It’s a bit grey today and I’m kinda over the excruciating stabbing pain I get when I move in certain ways. Hoping it will subside soon. I am not a patient patient! Got some work to get on with so need to power up my brain. #StayBright
Image shows a copy of Andy Weir’s book “Project Hail Mary” held up against a train window and green countryside whizzes by in the background
Good morning! How are you feeling? Lovely day yesterday and now travelling. Not sure where all the sunshine went! Hastily reading Project Hail Mary before I see the film. #StayBright
Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m in the garden listening to the birds and enjoying the feel of warm sunshine. Treated myself to fresh juice and a mille feuille yesterday after a walk in the park. Off to a christening today. #StayBright
Three red tulips in the garden - photo taken from above
Good morning! How are you feeling? Am enjoying the sunshine and taking it slow today after quite a bit of walking yesterday. Enjoying the new found freedom. My tulips are coming out! ☺️ How’s your weekend looking? #StayBright
Bright blue sky behind the round tower of All Souls church near BBC Broadcasting House. Columns, round balcony, clock, more columns and then the spire.
Good morning! How are you feeling? I am finally free of the catheter - needed because they damaged my bladder during surgery. That was NOT fun. Dignity? What’s dignity? Still, guess it was helpful in slowing me down when I was meant to be resting. Sun’s out! #StayBright
Very dainty narcissi - very pale yellow, multiple flowers on a single stalk. Spring is coming!
Good morning! How are you feeling? Hospital trip this morning - first time on tube since surgery. Hoping it’s going to be okay. Need the appt to go well. Sun’s out again which is amazing. Might slowly stroll in town a little once free. #StayBright
Large pink and white magnolia flower - not in my garden sadly!
Good morning! How are you feeling? My doorbell rang yesterday and made me jump so much I really tensed up - cue massive abdominal pain. Worse than laughing! Will be so relieved to heal up some more! Out in the garden in the sun with my book. Not cutting the lawn. #StayBright
