Happy Space Science Saturday!
As part of NASA’s Artemis program, Artemis II recently completed its historic crewed lunar flyby, the first since the Apollo era, sending astronauts around the Moon and back to Earth. This mission is testing critical systems needed for future lunar landings, including Artemis III.

Astro post! It's been a bit, but here's an image of a favorite subject I captured over the winter: Thor's Helmet Nebula. This object trails Orion in the night sky and is pretty low on my horizon. Most images are just Hydrogen and Oxygen, but I grabbed Sulfur data as well and included it in my processing.

Yesterday we visited the #Volkssternwarte #Köln ✨🔭 The weather was overcast, so conditions were limited, but we were still able to observe #Jupiter and its four #GalileanMoons #Io, #Europa, #Ganymede, and #Callisto.

The main #telescope is a 600 mm #Cassegrain reflector with a focal length of 5,400 mm, which enables high-magnification observations of #planets, the #Moon, double #stars, and bright planetary #nebulae.
