Our sun: in the grand scheme of stars in the universe, there’s really nothing that special about it. It’s only special to us and our life here on earth. It’s just an average yellow dwarf, the sort of sun that would float under everyone’s radar in high school. And this

Preparing for our return to the moon in coming years (it’s about time), the recently completed Artemis 1 mission successfully made unmanned moon-flybys with the Orion space capsule, which was just recovered from the Pacific ocean. Artemis 2 will see manned moon-flybys, and Artemis 3, humanity’s return to the moon
