NASA is looking for new astronauts. The space agency is accepting applications for a new astronaut class that will help grow its Artemis program.

The announcement was listed in a roundup of astronomy and space news. It describes the opportunity as a chance to fly to the moon and help build a permanent lunar base. The listing gives only a short summary of the call for applicants.

The summary does not say how many astronauts NASA plans to select, what the requirements or deadlines are, or when any missions would fly. It also does not mention any change to the Artemis schedule, any target date for a crewed landing, or details of the spacecraft and landers involved.

The item sits among many other space and astronomy stories on the same news page, including reports on telescope observations, comets and a Pakistani astronaut who is set to join China's Shenzhou 24 mission. Readers who want details on eligibility, timing and how to apply should check NASA's own announcement.
