Hiya 7chan! (ノ^∇^)
Busy report this month! Spring is here and with it the Full Pink Moon! I am going to give you all the facts about it first for those who only want the reminder and pertinent information then I will continue on about the exciting Artemis mission and my trip!
So as I said the Full Moon this coming month in April is called the Full Pink Moon and it will become full on April 1st at 10:12 PM (Not an April Fools Joke!) Buuuut technicallllly... Aprils ecclesiastical Full Moon occurs after the ecclesiastical spring equinox which is always set on March 21 and the astronomical spring equinox is on March 20, 2026. So really, this makes it the Paschal Moon. Also, because it is the first Full Moon of the season, it determines the date of Easter this year.
So I am sure all of you have heard we are finally going back to the moon from me for the last nine years, but now the time has finally come! Artemis II is set to lift off when? April 1st at 6:21PM EST on the full moon! Well, if everything goes according to schedule. While for this second mission the crew will not be landing on the moon, it will be taking astronauts on a ten day mission around the moon. Artemis III's plan is to actually touch down on the lunar surface. While I was able to head down to the cape and watch Artemis I take off and share my photos here with you, I will not be able to do the same for Artemis II this time because...
I am in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Yep! First time using Starlink too which I am sure the Astrophotographers LOVE! (¬.¬) I am currently heading towards the Azores and beyond on an expeditionary style cruise! 🛳 There are also fellow lunatics, space and cosmos enthusiasts, astrophysicists, astronomers and of course regular travelers on this vessel too! I've been to quite a few lectures and have taken part in some activities (also some R&R) The hype for Artemis is real and many people are having a great time drinking, partying and carrying on. This ship will eventually stop and pass through Gibraltar and end up in Italy. I am currently on day 4.
I hope you have a great viewing and welcome in the beautiful spring weather. Don't forget to go view the cherry blossoms if they are blooming! 🌸 Oh, if you would like me to ask a really knowledgeable person a moon or space related question, I'd be glad to ask. Let's keep each other up to date on Artemis and talk about it here! Nite! <3
