As part of the Artemis II mission\, crewmembers Victor Glover\, Reid Wiseman\, Jeremy Hansen\, and North Carolina-raised Christina Koch are set to embark on a 10-day journey around the Moon with a target launch date of April 1\, 2026. \n\n\n\nTo celebrate\, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center will host a special Artemis II launch viewing event before Starry Nights: Spring Skies\, our special planetarium show for teen and adult learners.
