**Dear readers,**

In my [lifelong mission](https://blog.jatan.space/about) to write & blog about the exploration of space and our Moon, 2023 turned out to be satiatingly eventful. Here are just some highlights that I’d like to share with you all.

- I published [50 editions of Moon Monday](https://blog.jatan.space/s/moon-monday/archive). The newsletter remains the only one dedicated to covering lunar exploration developments from around the world. A big thank you to each one of you [6,000+](https://jatan.space/5000-moon-monday-subscribers/) humans for reading my labor of lunar love.
- I started publishing monthly [Indian Space Progress reports](https://blog.jatan.space/s/indian-space-progress/archive), the only such resource collating and contextualizing all major (civil) Indian space developments.
- Got invited to speak at various conferences and institutes, including delivering the *“*[*Early Career Featured Presentation*](https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/leag2023/technical%5Fprogram/?session%5Fno=104)*”* at the annual meeting of the NASA-backed Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG).
- Published articles on [Nature](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03920-8) and [Payload Space](https://payloadspace.com/author/jatanm), and covered Chandrayaan 3 for [Scientific American](https://www.scientificamerican.com/author/jatan-mehta) while witnessing the mission’s [launch](https://jatan.space/chandrayaan-3/) and [landing](https://jatan.space/chandrayaan-3-makes-historic-touchdown/) from respective ISRO sites.
- The majority of all of this independent work is kindly supported by [organization sponsors](https://blog.jatan.space/about#§sponsors) and [individual supporters](https://jatan.space/support).

I’d like to remind you that all of my work is completely free to access with no ads, and is published in line with my transparent [Editorial Independence Policy](https://blog.jatan.space/ethics). If you love what I’ve been doing for space and lunar communities worldwide, [sponsor my work](https://blog.jatan.space/sponsor-moon-monday). It would mean the Moon to me.
