NASA has selected 10 new astronaut candidates from over 8,000 applicants to join its corps, preparing them for future missions to the Moon and potentially Mars!
These candidates will undergo two years of intensive training as part of NASA’s broader Artemis program, which aims to establish a sustained lunar presence and pave the way for deep space exploration.
For our write-to-us this week, we want you to imagine you’re an astronaut who just landed on Mars.
What would you say as you take your first steps on the red planet?
Students can use our inbox form online or send us an email to newsdepth@ideastream.org to share their space speeches.
The Moon likely formed 4.5 billion years ago from debris created by a massive collision between Earth and a Mars-sized protoplanet called Theia.
Our moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System. All the moons in our solar system have their own unique features and origins.
For our poll this week, we want to know: What’s your favorite moon?
Students can choose between: Ganymede, orbiting around Jupiter. Titan around Saturn. Other of Jupiter’s moons: Callisto, and Io. Or, Earth’s very own, the Moon.
Students and teachers, if you liked this week's Know Ohio segment, please let us know by filling this survey!
