Inspired by Artemis I? Share a #NASAMoonSnap!

Does the Moon inspire you to think creatively or wonder about the mysteries of the universe?  NASA will soon be launching Artemis I, the first flight test of the integrated Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. Artemis I will fly 40,000 miles beyond the Moon and back, demonstrating our capability to send humans to lunar orbit on the second flight test, Artemis II.  During the Artemis I mission, the Orion spacecraft's internal and external cameras will capture some incredible views of Earth and the Moon. Are you excited to see some of these Moon Snaps? How about sharing some of your own Moon-inspired art?

In anticipation of this monumental milestone, NASA wants to see, hear, and experience all of your Moon-inspired content — your Moon photographs, your Moon music, your Moon recipes, your Moon nail art, your Moon makeup tutorials. The sky is not the limit!

People Profile

Meet Dr. Mason Quick, an atmospheric physicist at our Marshall Space Flight Center. "I've always been science oriented. When I learned in elementary school that the Sun was a star, I was hooked. As I grew older, I was drawn to astronomy, but later changed my mind… Now I still specialize in something less than tangible: lightning.”
