Minor smoke particulates and some fairly significant low-level humidity interfered with shooting, but light conditions and weather were great for some whole sky #astrophotography last night.

Posted this quick timelapse of the Milky Way Rising quickly followed by a super bright moon exactly one year ago today.
It's Milky Way season again!

"#Artemis2 crew begins 1st moon mission training in 50 years" by @spacedotcom (mirror bot) / @howellspace - After initial publicity tour since April 3 crew announcement, now training on #SLS/#Orion systems and flight scenarios. https://www.space.com/artemis-2-moon-crew-mission-training #Artemis🚀 #NASA🇺🇸 #Moon🌕 #space
I've been thinking for weeks about what this #Artemis2 announcement means for #Canada, and for diversity, in the context of #Apollo.
My editor kindly trusted me with a ~2,000 word "think piece" that strays into things like Greek/Roman mythology about the moon.

I recently had the incalculable privilege of not only witnessing Canadian Jeremy Hansen receive a #moon mission at a capacity event in Houston ... but sitting down with him and 3 astronaut colleagues hours later.
The goodwill surrounding Jeremy comes from his generosity, and the comments here really show it. #Artemis2 #canada #nasa
