In #Goettingen, the upcoming Astronomy Day on March 28th will offer lectures, planetarium shows and skygazing. Topics will be #moon, #planets,

Reminder to those in #australia - the blood red #moon #eclipse is tonight and has started - total eclipse in half an hour from now

People are gonna fly by the moon!
Scheduled to launch on April Fool's day 😆

Artemis II: NASA’s First Crewed Lunar Flyby in 50 Years - NASA
Meet the Artemis II crew and learn how NASA’s 10-day lunar flyby mission will test deep space systems and pave the way for future Moon landings.

It is legitimately exciting that 4 humans might start on a journey around the Moon today!
Godspeed to all of them but especially The Big Unit* Canadian Jeremy Hansen!!

The origami wheel that could explore lunar caves
Beneath the moon's cratered surface lie networks of lava tubes and deep pits, natural caves that could shelter future lunar bases from cosmic radiation and wild temperature swings. These underground structures represent some of the most scientifically valuable areas in the solar system, but they come with the very real challenge of simply getting there.

Phase C has officially begun for Lunar Meteoroid Impacts Observer or #Lumio, ESA’s pioneering CubeSat technology demonstration mission dedicated to monitoring #meteoroid flashes on the far side of the #Moon: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Shaping_the_Future/A_leap_forward_for_Lumio_Phase_C_officially_launched - Lumio is entering the detailed design and implementation phase that will advance the mission toward flight readiness and a potential launch in 2028.

Isotopic evidence for volatile loss driven by South Pole-Aitken basin–forming impact: #Moon Is Asymmetrical: https://eos.org/articles/primordial-impact-may-explain-why-the-moon-is-asymmetrical - analysis of surface samples from the Chang’e-6 mission suggests that an asteroid may have vaporized parts of the lunar mantle, suppressing volcanic activity on the farside of the Moon.

Pretty sobering read. i am excited humanity is going back to the moon and proud that a Canadian astronaut is getting a chance!
Losing them would be a huge setback for the prestige and trust in the USA space program, but also a symptom of long standing problems.
I wonder if the Canadian Space Agency would reconsider whether it wanted to continue with NASA. It's clear there is a lot of concern even inside NASA about the culture.

From the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the four American robotic #Moon landings planned for this year - the Blue Origin HLS demonstrator for #Artemis should go first, as early as next month. (There is a little #VIPER looking at the latter because this homeless rover might fly on a second demonstrator - if they can figure out how to get it from the 8 meters high lander to the surface.)
