Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
And so now we see that the cupola on the ISS is really psychologically supportive, right? So crews look down, they take pictures about it all the time. They spend free time just gazing at the Earth, and it’s connecting them with nature. It gives them this holistic perspective of the Earth and everything. And it’s really good for them to have this sort of countermeasure up there just from looking out of a window. So we can think about the psychological needs that go along with the kind of basic physiological needs.
Host: So I wonder how you balance that, right? Because of course, you’re taking the perspective of when it comes to habits, task design, when it comes to considerations. You of course are thinking from the human factors perspective, but like you said, right? There are engineering considerations, too. There are challenges when you add a window, there’s challenges when it comes to materials and budgets and how you construct things. So how do you sort of weigh that? How do you work the human factors angle with some of these other considerations that need to be taken, right? The engineering, the materials. How do you balance that?

Lauren Blackwell Landon: Well, it’s certainly a push-pull kind of relationship, right? When we think about engineering and psychology. But that intersection is so important, and that’s where that human factors kind of bridges both worlds. They’re able to think about the functionality of what we have to do, the usability of it to get stuff done. And then also we can think about the psychology of how do we get things done where people are not stressed out about getting it done right? Is it easy to use? So if you walk up to a system, it’s hard to use, you’re probably not going to want to use it. So we can measure the psychological stress part of it.
The Next Full Moon is the Flower, Corn, or Corn Planting Moon - NASA Science
Thursday night the bright star Antares will appear so close to the Moon that for the Washington, DC area, the Moon will pass in front of Antares, blocking it from view, although the brightness of the full Moon will make it difficult to see the star vanish behind the Moon.The Maine Farmers' Almanac began publishing "Indian" names for full Moons in the 1930s and these names are now widely known and used. According to this almanac, as the full Moon in May the Algonquin tribes of what is now the north-eastern United States called this the Flower Moon for the flowers that are abundant this time of year. Other names include the Corn or Corn Planting Moon.An old English name for this Moon is the Milk Moon. In 703 AD the English monk St. Bede the Venerable wrote that what we now call May was the "Three-Milkings Month," apparently because this was the month when cows could be milked three times a day.A variety of sources list the full Moon in May as the Hare's Moon. Current western traditions see the patterns on the Moon as representing the "Man in the Moon." Many other cultures identify a hare or rabbit "in the Moon". There are also sculptures, images, and tales about Moon gazing hares. The Chinese zodiac tends to associate the hare or rabbit with early March to early April. The English idiom "mad as a March hare" appears to be based on the antics of the European hare during its March breeding season. Some scholars identify the hare as sacred to the West Germanic spring goddess Ä’ostre, a name tied to our word for Easter and the Anglo-Saxon name for April, and this connection may be the origin of the Easter Bunny. These associations suggest to me that the Hare's Moon might have been closer to Easter and the start of spring, rather than always being the full Moon in May. I'll let you know next year if I find out more about the origin of the Hare's Moon.This full Moon corresponds to Vesak, also known as Buddha Jayanti or Buddha Purnima, a holiday (according to Wikipedia) "traditionally observed by Buddhists in South Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as Tibet and Mongolia."

NASA Ames Astrogram - May 2022 - NASA
The Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment (CAPSTONE) CubeSat owned and operated by Advanced Space in Westminster, Colorado, will be the first spacecraft to test this orbit. Researchers want to show the orbit requires less fuel and allows constant direct communications contact with Earth as the spacecraft passes by the Moon.
And NASA has big plans for this unique type of orbit. Engineers expect it will allow them to park bigger spacecraft – including the lunar-orbiting space station Gateway – in orbit around the Moon for about 15 years. 

CAPSTONE revealed in lunar Sunrise: CAPSTONE is expected to be the first CubeSat to fly in cislunar space – the orbital space near and around the Moon. The mission will demonstrate an innovative spacecraft-to-spacecraft navigation solution at the Moon from a near rectilinear halo orbit slated for Artemis’ Gateway.

About six days after launch, CAPSTONE will deploy from the Rocket Lab Photon spacecraft bus and begin its four-month transfer to its NRHO, firing its thrusters to power its journey. After a couple of additional “clean-up” maneuvers, and a critical maneuver that will insert the spacecraft into the NRHO, the spacecraft will occasionally and sparingly fire its thrusters to stay on course, allowing NASA to understand the orbit dynamics for at least six months. 
“CAPSTONE will be precisely controlled and maintained and will benefit tremendously from the nearly-stable physics of its near rectilinear halo orbit,” said Elwood Agasid, deputy program manager of Small Spacecraft Technology at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. “The burns will be timed to give the spacecraft an extra boost as it naturally builds momentum – this requires a lot less fuel than a more circular orbit would require.”
If viewed from Earth, CAPSTONE’s orbit would repeatedly trace a consistent oval around the Moon as the spacecraft moves from the lunar North Pole to the lunar South Pole. It will take nearly a week to complete a full lunar orbit. While it’s over the South Pole, the spacecraft will be traveling at its slowest and farthest away from the lunar surface – approximately 47,000 miles (76,000 kilometers) above the Moon.

It will collect data about Earth's land- and ice-covered surfaces approximately every 6 days, allowing scientists to study changes at the centimeter scale – an unprecedented level of detail. To achieve this feat, NISAR will collect massive amounts of data. In Orbit Observation, students use pi to calculate how much data the NISAR spacecraft captures during each orbit of Earth. The NISAR satellite, shown in this artist’s concept, will use advanced radar imaging to provide an unprecedented view of changes to Earth’s land- and ice-covered surfaces.

Three suitcase-size rovers, each working mostly autonomously, will communicate with each other and a base station on their lunar lander to simultaneously measure data from different locations. If successful, the project could open the door for future multi-robot exploration missions. In Moon Mappers, students explore the Moon with pi by determining how far a CADRE rover drives on the Moon’s surface. Engineers test the system that will lower three small rovers onto the lunar surface as part of the CADRE project.

Education News & Blogs – NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
It was very hard to balance meeting the individual needs of each student and getting them used to the structure and expectations of the classroom. My fourth graders were online for the last part of second grade and a vast majority of third grade. This is when students really start to solve conflicts and regulate their emotions with less support from adults. I have seen a lot more problems with emotion regulation and conflict among my students this year than in years past. There is a lot of pressure on teachers right now to make up for all the learning loss and for students being behind on grade-level standards. But I don’t think enough people talk about how much joy and social interaction they also lost during remote learning. Teachers are also feeling the pressure of that. I want to help my students be the very best versions of themselves and being happy and comfortable with themselves is a huge part of that. A student looks at a page from the NASA Solar System Exploration website. Image courtesy: Jackie Prosser | + Expand image How do you structure your class to get students back in the flow of a school setting? I use a lot of manipulatives in my math lessons and try to make their learning as hands-on as possible. I also teach math in small groups to be able to better meet the individual needs of my students. I have one group with me learning the lesson, one group doing their independent practice of the skill, and one group on their computers. Then, the students switch until each group has done each activity. You’re a big fan of science and came to several JPL Education workshops while you were still in school yourself. Are there JPL Education resources that you have found particularly impactful for your students? I have always loved teaching science. It is so often left behind or pushed aside. I think a lot of time that happens because teachers feel like they do not have enough background knowledge to teach high-quality science lessons or they think that the lessons will add to the already enormous workload teachers have. My district does not have an adopted or prescribed curriculum for teachers to follow, so we have a lot of freedom for when and how to make the time for STEAM.
Slow down, make time for "Awe Walks"

To experience awe, it isn’t necessary to visit wonders like the Northern Lights or Niagara Falls. In fact, the key to feeling awe, studies show, is our level of absorption. 
Just taking a stroll and intentionally shifting our attention outward instead of inward can lead us there. The level of attention we pay to an experience determines the effect it has, and how lasting those affects will be. In other words, letting go and being absorbed in the experience is key. 
The outdoors are just awe-full
It’s pretty awesome that we’re able to feel awe in the first place. It’s not clear that any other animals can. And we’re surrounded by countless opportunities to do so, everywhere in nature. 
For example, if you see mushrooms pushing up through soil in the forest, also think about the vast networks of underground fungi that produce them. Take moments to explore the intricate patterns and designs in leaves, count how many colors you can find in individual flowers, or track the movements of clouds, to see the atmosphere in motion. 
Your parks are gateways to such experiences. Try taking Awe Walks, to tap into your childlike sense of wonder. Go hunting for experiences with an open mind. 
Some Awe Walks to try:

Visit the ocean or seek wide open vistas to experience the vastness of things. Feel the sunlight crossing space, earth deep beneath your feet.
Take scent walks beneath the bay laurel trees in fall, when their leaves are most pungent. Wild roses and plants like sage and tar weed also have strong and delightful odors.
Visit rivers or streams in the early morning or late afternoon, when birds living in the surrounding trees are most active, and stop to listen to the breadth and variety of their songs. 
Give yourself a particular task – look for things in the landscape, like certain colors; how many different shaped flowers or leaves you can spot; things to eat like seeds and berries; or spy on the world of insects all around. 
Try to see the forest, not just the trees. Imagine yourself crossing the landscape as if looking down from above, and how the land carries on and on in all directions.

The primary goal of an Awe Walk is to focus outside yourself for a time.
How Far Away Is the Moon? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
*If Earth was the size of a basketball, the moon would be the size of a tennis ball. This can give you an idea of how they compare.

Directions

Place the basketball on the ground. This represents Earth. 

Use the measuring tape to find a spot 23 feet 9 inches away from the middle of the basketball. Place the tennis ball there. The tennis ball is the moon. 

Are the basketball Earth and tennis ball moon farther apart than you expected? Take a picture and show your friends and family how far apart the moon and Earth really are.

Extra!
Use nearby objects to remember how far 23 feet 9 inches is from the basketball. Ask others to place the tennis ball where they think the moon is.They will be very surprised when you show them how far away it needs to be!
