We delve into the magical physics of the solar system around us as we stand on our home planet, and marvel as JPL/NASA keeps Voyager 1 heading out, way out into deep, deep space since 1977! We study Iroquois nation star myths about 7 sisters!

April skies are a sheer delight of fun things to look at, plus a meteor shower and a comet sighting. We also celebrate Artemis II successful mission, talk a bit about the Juno mission to the moons of Jupiter and go under the sea to look at mythology of the Seahorse!

We follow the Artemis II moon shot, way out around the moon, and catch a solar eclipse from way out here and come home with the imaginative, creative, enlightened crew and mission control with loving hands! We check in on the 5th anniversary of the Perseverance Rover landing on Mars and enjoy an amazing night sky from our home planet!

NASA and the Artemis II crew fired their big engine on the Service Module and left Earth orbit to take the 3 day trajectory to and around the Moon!

NASA's beautiful Artemis II rocket blasted off to low Earth orbit

yesterday at 6:24 pm EST and is orbiting the Earth until this evening when a thruster will lift them on the track to the moon!

Lots of beautiful orbs hanging here easy picking! Artemis II gets set to launch early April and Jessica Meirs makes her 4th space walk out of the airlocks of the International Space Station!

Check out the sky after dark and look to the west to see Jupiter and its moons, The Gemini Twins, Procyon, Capella magic!

Artemis to launch April 1st if the weather and the planets align!

Jessica Meirs makes her 4th space walk from the International Space Station!

Enjoy the night sky in the west at about 9:30 pm or so.. or so... or before or after! Jupiter and its moons under Castor and Pollux the Gemini twins. Artemis ready to launch April 1st if the weather is favorable! Women space walk out of the International Space Station air locks to star building a new solar array!

Lots of gems to look at as you go out at night. Just overhead about 9 pm, its Castor, Pollux , Jupiter and Capella above tilting Orion!

Watching a big hawk in a giant Spruce tree hanging with a singing robin and the full moon eclipse the next morning and the next without the eclipse is still amazing! Poems from Margaret Pettis and Tina Thomas!
