This may not rival the Beethoven bangers of that time, but we still consider it a one-hit wonder
An arched line ripples across the image, starting at the lower righthand corner. As it passes over the orange-tinted IXPE data, sounds like digital winds are triggered, particularly where those orange areas are brightest. When the traveling line passes over the blue-tinted Chandra data, the resulting notes resemble steel drums

Hey, remember that time we flew around the Moon and back?
Hey, remember that time we flew around the Moon and back?
That was pretty cool. Our #Artemis I mission launched on Nov. 16, 2022, and performed two lunar flybys over the course of a 25.5-day mission. At its farthest distance during the mission, Orion traveled nearly 270,000 miles (435,000 kilometers) from our home planet.
Artemis I was the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems – the Orion spacecraft, SLS rocket, and the supporting ground systems – and the first in a series of increasingly complex missions at the Moon. Now with the first Artemis mission under our belt, we look forward to flying around the Moon again with Artemis II — this time, with astronauts.
Through Artemis missions, NASA will establish a long-term lunar presence for scientific discovery and prepare for human missions to Mars.
