Greeting Space Lovers and welcome back to Cosmic Radio. We have a great show this month. In the first part of the show we find out "What's up in the February night sky" and learn about the upcoming NASA Artemis II moon-launch and the return of The United States to the Moon. Then in the second part of the show we celebrate the return of Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton, the Principal Investigator of NASA's Psyche Mission: A Journey to a Metal World!
Dr. Elkins-Tanton is going to update us on the mission during its "cruise-phase".

Check-out the following links that Dr. Elkins-Tanton mentions during the show:
