I finally found the location of the crater the Artemis II crew just named after Commander Reid Wiseman's deceased wife Carroll Taylor Wiseman. She died of cancer in 2020.

Interesting location. Carroll is a small crater that we probably can't see from Earth, but from here we can easily know where it is. On a clock face it would be at around 9:47.

When I was a kid in Florida I stayed up late on Dec. 7, 1972. I stood outside in the chilly air and watched Apollo 17 rise into the starry sky. Onboard was Gene Cernan who would become the last human to walk on the moon.

Years later I worked in a planetarium. NASA had donated some old space artifacts to them including one of Cernan's spacesuit liners. It was an off-white bodysuit. A couple of times, after hours, I very carefully put it on. Sorry, but not sorry.

Another photo I took on Oct 10, 2024.

Another one of the many photos I took of the aurora on Oct 10, 2024. It was the last aurora I've seen. It was so strong that a bright moon didn't interfere with it.

I was trying to take a photo of the stars but this pesky aurora got in the way (Oct 10, 2024).

Another photo I took from my front yard of the Oct. 10, 2024 aurora. It was the best aurora of my life. I've seen about 10 decent ones.

The best night of 2024. On Oct. 10th the auroral oval was so powerful that it went past us in Eastern Washington and headed south for awhile. This view is looking southeast and was taken when people in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and S. California could see it. The white light on the right was from the bright moon which ordinarily would have made an aurora hard to see.
