🚀 The First Crewed Lunar Mission in 54 Years, Artemis II, Has Launched At 6:35 p.m. Eastern time, the SLS rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft lifted off from Launch Complex 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Koch, and Victor Glover—will fly around the Moon and return to Earth over the course of a 10-day mission. In 2028, as part of the fourth Artemis mission, astronauts are expected to land on the Moon. ⏳ Before Artemis, the last crewed lunar mission was Apollo 17. In 1972, American astronauts landed on the Moon for the sixth time, a feat that remains the most recent lunar landing to this day. Do we need more missions to the Moon? ❤️ — Yes, it is our base for space exploration 🔥 — No, we should focus on Earth

NASA's Artemis 2 mission has been launched!

On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe successfully entered the atmosphere of Titan and landed on its surface. This was the first (and for 2022 the only) soft landing in history, made in the Outer Solar System. The probe landed on a hard surface, although landing in the ocean was also provided for by its design 🌊

Why do we experience summer and winter on Earth? 🌍 This video explains how the tilt of the Earth and its movement around the Sun cause seasons. When one side of the Earth tilts towards the Sun, it experiences summer ☀️, while the opposite side experiences winter ❄️. This simple animation helps you understand the science behind seasons in an easy way! 👉 Like, Share & Subscribe for more amazing science videos 🚀 https://youtube.com/shorts/-wVErpImMk0?si=Rvkzc37KFDSO6Nb0
