The Artemis II mission to the moon will be the first crewed mission to orbit the moon in more than 50 years.

This will be the first time a Canadian has orbited the moon. The Artemis missions are also expected to include the first woman and the first person of colour to walk the moon.

For more information during this World Astronomy Month, we welcomed the Great Orbax, a science communicator in the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph, as well as one-half of Orbax and Pepper Do Science.
