#Lunar Exploration Update.

[spacenutspod]

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to source for the latest news in space and astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of space-related news that I'm sure you'll find fascinating. Episode Highlights - **NASA Cancels Viper Lunar Rover Mission**: NASA has officially canceled the Viper lunar rover mission, initially aimed at exploring the moon's south polar region. Persistent supply chain issues and cost overruns were major factors. While the rover is fully assembled, NASA is exploring the possibility of offering it to US industry and international partners for future lunar exploration. - **Deorbiting the ISS**: NASA has unveiled plans to deorbit the International Space Station using a vehicle developed by SpaceX. This move will bring a controlled and safe conclusion to two decades of remarkable achievements aboard the ISS. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft will be adapted for this mission, ensuring a precise and safe reentry. - **Hot Jupiter Progenitor Discovered**: Astronomers have pinpointed a hot Jupiter in the making, known as TIC 241-24-9530 b. This planet, situated about 1100 light-years from Earth, has the most eccentric orbit ever recorded and is expected to evolve into a hot Jupiter over a billion years. The discovery sheds light on the life cycle of these extreme planets. - **Preserving ISS Artifacts**: NASA is now considering preserving small artifacts from the International Space Station, marking a reversal of their previous stance. Items like the ship’s bell, logs, and display panels may be saved as mementos, ensuring that the ISS's legacy is immortalized in museums. NASA Cancels Viper Lunar Rover Mission NASA has officially pulled the plug on the Viper lunar rover mission, originally scheduled for a November launch. Persistent supply chain issues and cost overruns were cited as the main reasons. The mission, aimed at exploring the moon's south polar region, was delayed multiple times, pushing potential landing to 2025. Despite the cancellation, NASA is exploring the possibility of offering the rover to US industry and international partners. Deorbiting the ISS NASA has unveiled plans to deorbit the International Space Station using a vehicle developed by SpaceX. This move will bring a controlled and safe conclusion to two decades of remarkable achievements aboard the ISS. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft will be adapted for this mission, ensuring a precise and safe reentry. The mission will see the ISS drift downwards before the crew finally exits, about six months prior to the final reentry. Hot Jupiter Progenitor Discovered Astronomers have pinpointed a hot Jupiter in the making, known as TIC 241-24-9530 b. This planet, situated about 1100 light-years from Earth, has the most eccentric orbit ever recorded and is expected to evolve into a hot Jupiter over a billion years. The discovery, published in Nature, sheds light on the life cycle of these extreme planets and underscores the importance of multi-institutional collaboration in uncovering the mysteries of our universe. Preserving ISS Artifacts NASA is now considering preserving small artifacts from the International Space Station, marking a reversal of their previous stance. Items like the ship’s bell, logs, and display panels may be saved as mementos, ensuring that the ISS's legacy is immortalized in museums. NASA is consulting with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum to develop a preservation strategy.

It's been a lot of work over a lot of time but I think I can finally share this...

PMD:EoS, but with all of the starters!

...Including Grookey, finally!!!!! 🥳

Introducing PMD: Expanded Sky!

This is a public mod available to download now! It adds in all starters from unova all the way to paldea, as well as zorua, axew and rockruff, and allows evolving eevee into sylveon.

Speaking of which, fairy type has been patched into the game! Disarming voice replaces milk drink and moonblast replaces judgement, which was unused.

Some non-traditional starters are no longer available as hero options in this due to lack of space, but are still available as partners. (Skitty can be chosen as a hero in version 1.0.0 only, so download that version instead of the latest if you wanna use her! Riolu and Shinx are available in version 1.2.1 and below)

If one of your faves was taken off the hero roster (eg vulpix, skitty, riolu, munchlax, etc), I have a tutorial here on how to quickly edit the patched file to put them back in :)

Several regional variants have been added! Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion are now available as potential evolutions for their respective base stages.

Partners across both rescue team and all three versions of explorers are available too, including Cubone, Munchlax, Machop, Vulpix, Riolu, etc

Sprites and portraits are courtesy of the brilliant PMD Sprite Repository and the many incredible artists who contribute to it!

Credits for all improvement patches, sprites and portraits are included in the download, as well as an explanation on how to patch the game and the full starter list.

The mod is split in two versions to accommodate all the partners - MIDDAY version and MIDNIGHT version. The download includes both, as well as the tool required to patch your game! You'll need a clean US copy of pmd eos at hand.

A full list of moves learned by newly added Pokémon can be found here, as well as info on how to evolve them and their IQ groups.

If you run into any issues, feel free to drop me an ask or DM and I'll see how I can help/what I need to fix!

You can find the download for this rom hack here!

Edits/updates noted under the cut:

(27/04/23)

The overall mod now has a name - expanded sky! Reflected earlier on in the post.

I've been informed that the included patching tool (XDelta) doesn't work on mac, and after some digging around and discussions in dms we found this tool works for Mac instead.

Added graphics to the post displaying which heroes and partners are part of the hack.

(11/05/23)

Added link to learnset compilation for all new pokémon.

(17/05/23) Version 1.1.0 has been released!

Sobble is now a starter, replacing Skitty (Skitty is still accessible by downloading v1.0.0 on the download page). Sobble is also now a partner in MIDNIGHT.

Zorua/Zoroark's moveset has been tweaked slightly

Base forms of all new starters can now be found in Oran Forest, and can be recruitable in the post-game. The new fire starters can also be found in Giant Volcano.

Extra portraits and sprites were added for Cubone, Psyduck and Machop. Like the rest of the new assets in this mod, these were imported from the PMD Sprite Repository, and credits are on the title screen and in the readme.txt.

Extra credits + more in-depth instructions for patching the game included in the readme.txt.

(18/05/23)

Added a link to a tutorial on swapping out heroes for others already existing in the game.

(22/05/23) - Version 1.1.1 has been released!

Fixed genders for female starter options on the quiz. Updated Fuecoco to use new portraits and sprites. (Credits to Garbage)

(23/05/23) - Version 1.1.2 has been released!

Female starters from gens 5-9 can now evolve correctly (save for starters who don't have evolutions in the game yet - these are listed in the text file in the download)

Rockruff can now evolve, and Midnight Lycanroc's evolution method has been fixed to use the Lunar Ribbon as intended.

(15/06/23) - Version 1.2.1 has been released!

In 1.2.0, a second version of the mod was included in the zip compatible with melon emulator, and potentially others that were having issues with saving.

Fairy gummis were also made available as mission rewards and shop items.

There's a couple more things that can be seen in the changelog including bugfixes, but the main other thing promised was that Froakie and Litten can now evolve directly into Greninja and Incineroar. Due to an evolution flag not being set this ended up untrue, but has been fixed in 1.2.1.

This post claimed dazzling gleam is in the game, but it should've said disarming voice.

🆕 (10/03/24) - Version 1.3.0 has been released!

Dusk Lycanroc, Drizzile, Inteleon, Grookey, Axew and Fraxure have been added, as well as Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak an Hisuian Typhlosion.

Axew replaces Shinx in the hero roster, and Grookey replaces Riolu. Additional portraits and sprites added for starter evolutions, including vanilla starters. Sleep animations have been copied over to EventSleep/Laying/Wake animations if missing.

Greninja erroneously had the same moveset as Froakie. This has now been fixed.

Credits are no longer displayed on the title screen.

Sprite, portrait and patch credits can now be viewed by talking to a Cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads.

Evolution help can also be accessed by talking to this same NPC.

🆕 (23/05/24) - Version 1.3.1 has been released!

The uhh. Grovyle problem. Yeah. That should be fixed.

(Grovyle was missing several sprites as a side effect of trying to add new ones, due to his unique setup in the vanilla game as such an important npc. His sprites should now be reverted to a functional state, rather than leaving him to walk fowards on the spot all the time).

An issue present from the start that caused the game to freeze while advancing floors in dungeons occasionally should now be resolved.

TOKYO -- A Japanese spacecraft touched down on the moon early Saturday, making Japan the fifth country to reach the lunar surface. But officials said they still needed to analyze the pinpoint accuracy of the landing.

Hitoshi Kuninaka, head of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, said they believe that rovers were launched and data were being transmitted back to Earth. But there could an issue with the power supply.

The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, landed at about 12:20 a.m. Tokyo time on Saturday (1520 GMT Friday). Japan follows the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India in reaching the moon.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.

Japan’s spacecraft arrived on the surface of the moon early Saturday, but it wasn’t immediately clear if the landing was a success, because the Japanese space agency said it was still “checking its status.”

More details about the spacecraft, which is carrying no astronauts, would be given at a news conference, officials said. If the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, landed successfully, Japan would become the fifth country to accomplish the feat after the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India.

SLIM came down onto the lunar surface at around 12:20 a.m. Tokyo time Saturday (1520 GMT Friday).

As the spacecraft descended, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's mission control said that everything was going as planned and later said that SLIM was on the lunar surface. But there was no mention of whether the landing was successful.

Mission control kept repeating that it was “checking its status" and that more information would be given at a news conference. It wasn't immediately clear when the news conference would start.

SLIM, nicknamed "the Moon Sniper," started its descent at midnight Saturday, and within 15 minutes it was down to about 10 kilometers (six miles) above the lunar surface, according to the space agency, which is known as JAXA.

At an altitude of five kilometers (three miles), the lander was in a vertical descent mode, then at 50 meters (165 feet) above the surface, SLIM was supposed to make a parallel movement to find a safe landing spot, JAXA said.

About a half-hour after its presumed landing, JAXA said that it was still checking the status of the lander.

SLIM, which was aiming to hit a very small target, is a lightweight spacecraft about the size of a passenger vehicle. It was using “pinpoint landing” technology that promises far greater control than any previous moon landing.

While most previous probes have used landing zones about 10 kilometers (six miles) wide, SLIM was aiming at a target of just 100 meters (330 feet).

The project was the fruit of two decades of work on precision technology by JAXA.

The mission's main goal is to test new landing technology that would allow moon missions to land “where we want to, rather than where it is easy to land,” JAXA has said. If the landing was a success, the spacecraft will seek clues about the origin of the moon, including analyzing minerals with a special camera.

The SLIM, equipped with a pad to cushion impact, was aiming to land near the Shioli crater, near a region covered in volcanic rock.

The closely watched mission came only 10 days after a moon mission by a U.S. private company failed when the spacecraft developed a fuel leak hours after the launch.

SLIM was launched on a Mitsubishi Heavy H2A rocket in September. It initially orbited Earth and entered lunar orbit on Dec. 25.

Japan hopes a success will help regain confidence for its space technology after a number of failures. A spacecraft designed by a Japanese company crashed during a lunar landing attempt in April, and a new flagship rocket failed its debut launch in March.

JAXA has a track record with difficult landings. Its Hayabusa2 spacecraft, launched in 2014, touched down twice on the 900-meter-long (3,000-foot-long) asteroid Ryugu, collecting samples that were returned to Earth.

Experts say a success of SLIM's pinpoint landing, especially on the moon, would raise Japan's profile in the global space technology race.

Takeshi Tsuchiya, aeronautics professor at the Graduate School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo, said it was important to confirm the accuracy of landing on a targeted area for the future of moon explorations.

“It is necessary to show the world that Japan has the appropriate technology in order to be able to properly assert Japan's position in lunar development,” he said. The moon is important from the perspective of explorations of resources, and it can also be used as a base to go to other planets, like Mars, he said.

SLIM is carrying two small autonomous probes — lunar excursion vehicles LEV-1 and LEV-2, which will be released just before landing.

LEV-1, equipped with an antenna and a camera, is tasked with recording SLIM's landing. LEV-2, is a ball-shaped rover equipped with two cameras, developed by JAXA together with Sony, toymaker Tomy and Doshisha University.

JAXA will broadcast a livestream of the landing, while space fans will gather to watch the historic moment on a big screen at the agency's Sagamihara campus southwest of Tokyo.

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 36 - Sex Pollen

Sex Pollen as a trope is also not as big in this fandom as one would imagine. @lilliebellfanfics has suggested I try to put something together because "it’s spring and pollen season", which seems like an amazing idea until I realized how many of the Sex Pollen trope stories went into the Potions post around Halloween. Thankfully, I have more for you to explore! 

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

The Armour That We Wear - @sailoreuterpe

In this one-shot Usagi and Mamoru start to deal with implications of their anime-inspired break-up after a sex-bubble causes their inhibitions to fall.

La Douleur Exquise - @floraone

This story ties into "4 authors 1 prompt series", parts of which are in the Potions post linked above. In this two-shot, Usagi and Mamoru are working through co-existing within their civilian and superhero lives, while trying to stop people from getting hurt. I loved that this take causes changes in the timeline and forces Black Moon clan and Chibiusa to become anomalies. 

All's Fun with Love and Orbs - @irritablevowel

This is another addition to the "4 authors 1 prompt series" with a focus on Dead Moon Circus arc. In a non-traditional take, meddling from Amazones Quartet causes everyone to argue instead of being unable to keep their hands off each other.

Happy Hump Day!: Chapter 1: Lunar on a Hot Tin Roof - @shnuggletea

With Tokyo experiencing a crazy heatwave, Usagi cannot seem to be able to cool down. Mamoru is the only person who can bring down her fever, even if it might not be in the most conventional way. This is the first chapter of a collection of unrelated lemons if you want to keep exploring.

One story that became part of the Reveals series but might make more sense here is Impulse by @areptiledysfunction1107 , where mysterious fog from a youma is to blame for Tuxedo Mask's inability to see straight when it comes to a certain blonde.

HELLO & WELCOME TO THE BLOG DEDICATED TO MY FANTASY LIFE AU - THE EIGHT OF LUNARES!!!

This the blog dedicated to my Fantasy Life AU! This is to help organize updates, art and information for said AU. I'm still figuring out a lot of details so I thought this could help with that! This also, however, acts as an ask blog as well! You can ask me about the lore or ask the characters themselves! Yep, you can ask the main Eight whatever ya want- within reason. ANYWAYS- it's an ask/rp blog for organizing with a dash of random FL content I find! I'll put character info, rules and general info under da cut. Explore the Eight of Lunares world and have fun, safe travels adventurer :D

Greetings and welcome to the Eight of Lunares archives, I, Writer, shall be your guide! Since I made all this, I'll catch ya up to speed, alrighty?

⭐First, let’s list off the main Eight: We have Itri, Meradith, Oak, Niko & Sweet Tea, Nashira, Agate, Parsnip & Torrent. This has most of their information AND their art so I recommend checking those out :)

⭐Now here’s the summary of what this AU is (I will probably have to update it in a different post on my own time but for now this will suffice.)

⭐Also I think the Eight of Lunares AU tag on my main would be nice as well so there ya go.

⭐A couple of rules/general notes about this blog: Try to keep things PG-13 with asks and comments (you will be informed privately if things are taken too far), sometimes I’ll answer as the Eight and sometimes I’ll answer as myself (tags will indicate so), some answers will have art and some won't, AND have fun :D (that felt too long lol sorry)

⭐Okay but please be patient with me, I’m still deciding a lot about the au and I’m hoping this helps me with development, especially this is all in one place- I’ve never done something likes this so oof

⭐THAT IS ALL FROM ME! LEAVE ALL MAIL AT THE POST OFFICE AND WE’LL (me, the Eight lol we’re in this together) DO OUR BEST TO ANSWER! AHHHHHHHHHH-

⭐BYEEEEEEEEEE!

~ SAFE JOURNEYS TRAVELERS! ~

"Strength In Numbers (Bunny Avalanche)" 12 x 12 inches acrylic gouache on board 2023

UPDATE: SOLD!

Kozy - We sent this painting off to be in an exhibition at COREY HELFORD GALLERY in Los Angeles. 

Bunnies have been a recurring character in our artwork since the very first year of our career working together.  Dan sketched up this illustration in December as the year of the Tiger (2022) was drawing to a close, and the year of the Rabbit (2023) was about to begin so as to commemorate this new lunar year, as well as “celebrate the power of cooperation to overcome daunting odds!” (Those are his words, I think he just wanted to draw more rabbits for all you @kozyndan rabbit fans out there!). 

This work was made using the same process as the “California Bunnywave” - Dan drew the lines and colored it just how he imagined the final art to look in Procreate and then printed that illustration for me to trace the basic lines onto a 12 x 12 inch cradled board and then paint with acrylic gouache. I got use my new toy, a little USB chargeable airbrush, again for this painting. This is now my second time using an airbrush and its been fun to explore the new tool as I used it to make the snow in this painting. I tried to stick close to what Dan imagined and just got lost in the process - figuring our how to make the snow, and then all the brush painted lifework afterwards. Its actually a quite meditative process for me - and I find myself listening to a lot of meditative sort of podcasts and music while I do this kind of painting process. It was a lovely way to finish out the year! The “Art Collector Starter Kit” exhibition opened January 28th, 2023.Happy new Year to Everyone!!! 

We are so grateful for your support!
