0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. This is sleep from space. The red planet takes center stage this month. Step outside after dinner and look east. Mars is unmistakable with its orange red hue. Jupiter lingers briefly in the west. Engineers are putting the Artemis two rocket through its paces with a full dress rehearsal before the moon mission. The last quarter Moon stays below the horizon until late so the early evening is perfect for finding faint stars and nebulae. Space is strange. If two pieces of the same type of metal touch in the vacuum of space, they will permanently bond together through a process called cold welding. Neep tides are in effect the gentlest tides of the month. With the Sun and Moon at right angles, their pulls partially cancel out.
