Have you had snow yet this year? ❄️

February’s Snow Moon will last for about three days, peaking Feb. 5 at 1:29 pm ET (1829 UTC). The name Snow Moon is attributed to heavy snow in the northeastern United States: go.nasa.gov/3JFO1oP

As we plan to send @NASA_Astronauts to the Moon in preparation for one day going to Mars, we need to learn how extended durations in space change the human body.

CIPHER is the first study to assess the whole human response to time spent in space: go.nasa.gov/3XWJfYa

We went.

For years, we have been preparing for long-term human exploration of the Moon. In 2022, we witnessed the launch of @NASA_SLS, @NASA_Orion's trek to the Moon, and a splashdown back to Earth that future astronauts will experience.

2023, look out. We are #Artemis.
