Translunar Injection
Translunar injection is a maneuver used to send a spacecraft from Earth orbit to a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. This involves firing the spacecraft's engines at a precise moment to increase its velocity, allowing it to escape Earth's gravitational pull and enter a path towards the Moon.

Auroras
Auroras are natural light displays predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. They occur when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in Earth's atmosphere, resulting in beautiful, colorful lights in the sky.
