Artemis Missions and Solar Storms

The video discusses upcoming space missions and solar phenomena. NASA's Artemis II mission will send astronauts around the moon, including the first woman and person of color, as a precursor to future lunar landings and Mars exploration. Japan plans to explore Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, with a mission to collect samples. Additionally, 2024 is expected to see increased solar storms, which can disrupt technology but also create beautiful auroras.
