You have got to see this.
This is the view of a total total solar eclipse as
seen by the NASA Artemis 2 crew as they slingshot around the moon.
Um, this is uh continues to be unreal.
The the sun has gone behind the moon and the corona is still visible and it's bright and it creates a halo almost around the entire moon.
But when you get to the earth side, the earthshine had already shown.
I mean, almost you know, seconds after uh the sun set behind the moon, uh you could see earthshine.
The earth is so bright out there and the moon is just hanging in front of us.
Uh this uh black orb out in front of us in front of now.
Not the blackness, but the gray that uh blends and drifts into the blackness.
We can see stars and the planets uh behind it.
I want to bring in former NASA astronaut Terry Hart.
Terry is also a professor at Lehigh University and the director of our aerospace engineering program.
Terry, thanks so much for joining us.
I love hearing the astronauts describe what they're seeing.
Let's talk about what they're seeing.
Let's talk about what's happening now and the solar eclipse that they are experiencing.
Mhm.
It's really something, isn't it, Julia?
I mean, these are things that no one's ever seen before.
The Apollo missions were much closer in their orbits around the moon, so they weren't quite high enough to see what what this crew is seeing.
And and there's actually dust that gets kicked up when a meteor hits the moon, uh can kick up dust at such a velocity that actually goes into orbit around the moon.
You know, so the scientists are very interested in seeing what the composition of that dust is by looking at the spectrum and so forth.
You know, so it's it's something that's never been seen before.
Yeah, I understand that the April 1st was such a critical time to launch because they could then in fact see the solar eclipse.
So, the timing was so spectacular in its own right.
How do the astronauts determine what are high-profile high-priority targets that is, that could warrant a closer look?
Well, as they go around the moon, you know, they on the far side particularly, they they can see things that haven't been seen before.
And of course, the scientists are very interested.
The the far side of the moon gets impacted quite a bit more than the the near side because the earth kind of protects the near side.
You know, so there's a lot going on over there kinetically that's of interest to the scientists.
So, the astronauts as they were coming around before they they lost signal behind the moon, they were giving a lot of descriptions of a very bright phenomenon where meteors hit the backside of the moon there and they were describing those as well as they could.
And of course, they were taking a lot of photographs uh Yes.
as they went around the dark side as well.
Tens of thousands of photographs on top of doing great communication with us here back on earth.
Um, they're really showing their their vision through their photos and then also how they're describing it to us.
So, that's kind of their main job is really what they're witnessing firsthand and then also taking photos as well,
correct?
That's right.
And and the real science is going to come in the following
missions once you once we have a laboratory on the South Pole.
Uh that's going to be really spectacular for people to live there the year around
just like we live on the South Pole of the earth.
Uh there's scientists there all the time doing their studies.
We'll do the same thing on the moon.
It's going to be very exciting.
What's this like for you witnessing this?
I'm jealous. I wish I were there.
It's uh any astronaut gets so excited when we see a launch and uh you you realize uh
the astronauts are the the tip of a very big pyramid and there's so many people that work so hard to make these missions a success and and
we're just so proud to be the ones that get the chance to go and and then and make it happen.
Uh it's a it's a real responsibility and a and a real honor you know, for astronauts to participate in these missions.
Yeah, I call it healthy jealousy.
Terry, let's take a live look right now because I'm being told that we're seeing a snapshot right now live.
Um, if you can see are you able to to
see the visualization as well?
Um Yeah,
that's yeah, that's a that's a rendering.
Okay,
now we might be live now.
>> Okay, there we go. And if you see on the upper left-hand corner, do you see the bright light there?
We're told by the astronauts who just communicated down to earth uh that that is Venus.
Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah, how about that?
Yeah, yeah, Venus is very bright
and it's kind of blue, you know, so it
it tends to stand out among the stars.
You can tell it's obviously not a star.
That's great.
Yeah, so we're just seeing it in real time as you are as well.
fascinating.
Terry Hart, Terry, thank
you so much for joining us and we'll certainly circle back with you another time on this amazing mission.
It'd be my pleasure, Julia, anytime.
Thank We'll talk to you soon.
