00:00What tomorrow will look like is a roughly five-hour period where the crew will be observing
00:04the illuminated surface of the moon. In response to the question I got yesterday, the two Apollo
00:09sites they'll be able to see here at the beginning are the Apollo 12 and 14 landing sites.
00:14As they progress through the several-hour period where the moon is illuminated,
00:17they'll continue to work through that targeting plan. Again, each target is based on our lunar
00:22science objectives, and they'll be able to see how the moon is changing throughout their time
00:26observing it. They, of course, will have a period that you can find the exact timing on NASA's
00:32websites, and we have it here as well, where there's a loss of signal after Earth disappears
00:35from view and before it reappears in Earthrise on the other side. They'll continue their science
00:41observations during that time. Then, of course, about an hour later, we have this really unique
00:46opportunity to observe an eclipse from the vantage point of Orion where the sun disappears behind
00:51the moon from the vantage point of the integrity crew, and they'll be able to observe the solar
00:57corona right around sunset and sunrise. They'll also be able to take pictures of several planets
01:03that will be visible in view. That includes Earth, of course, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn.
01:11They'll also be able to look for potential Earthshine effects, which is literally the illuminated
01:16Earth shedding glow onto the near side of the moon. We've got a jam-packed plan for them tomorrow,
01:21and it ultimately all traces to our science objectives. Thanks.
