#WorldHealthDay reminder: a healthy planet is the foundation of our health.
Forests clean the air we breathe. Oceans provide food and regulate the climate. Soils grow what we eat. Freshwater sustains life.
Protecting ecosystems means protecting people.
This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥
As part of the flyby, crew will lose comm with Earth for ~45 minutes. If they were to emerge from the pass and never regain comm with Earth, we have a protocol for that - called Permanent Communications Loss - that enables the crew to being able to return to Earth without any communications.

Migratory freshwater fish are in steep decline due to pressures along their paths, including dams, altered flows, habitat degradation, pollution and unsustainable fishing.
Restoring rivers and habitats cannot wait.

Orion-Raumschiff jetzt über 50.000 km von der Erde entfernt. Zum Vergleich: ISS 400 km, Wettersatelliten 36.000 km, Mond ca. 400.000 km.
Aber in dem Zusammenhang interessant: Es gibt auf dem Weg zum Mond einen Punkt, an dem die Anziehungskraft des Mondes stärker auf das Raumschiff wirkt als die der Erde. Da der Mond weniger Masse hat (81 Monde würden die Erde aufwiegen), ist der Punkt nicht auf halber Strecke, sondern näher am Mond.
Und es soll wohl zu einer Konstellation kommen, bei der die Sonne vom Mond wie bei einer Sonnenfinsternis bedeckt wird - so ähnlich gab es das schon bei Apollo 12. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs.

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation.
But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times.
Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.”
Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.
A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology #WomensHistoryMonth
Educational diagram in exploded view showing the internal layers of the Earth. From left to right: a cutaway globe with blue surface and white continents labeled “CRUST,” followed by the thick brown mantle labeled “MANTLE,” the red outer core labeled “OUTER CORE,” and the small yellow inner core labeled “INNER CORE.” A complete blue globe with continents appears on the right for scale. All layers are separated horizontally to reveal the structure.
#OTD in 1936, Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann wrote a famous letter to a colleague outlining her theory that seismic waves (P-waves) recorded from distant earthquakes indicated Earth had a solid inner core.
Her discovery fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior. #WomenInSTEM

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run.
In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

A black-and-white historical photograph from the 1921 Women’s Olympiad in Monte Carlo, showing a group of female athletes parading across a grass field. The women are dressed in loose-fitting, knee-length tunics with short sleeves and are mostly barefoot, a common sight during this pioneering international event. In the background, a large, ornate Belle Époque-style building with arched balconies is visible, filled with a dense crowd of spectators in period-appropriate attire, including many men in dark suits and hats. Rugged, misty mountains rise behind the building, framing the scene at the Tir aux Pigeons (pigeon shooting range) gardens just below the Monte Carlo Casino.
#OTD in 1921, the first Women's Olympiad opened in Monaco.
The world's first international multi-sport competition for women, created in response to the International Olympic Committee's refusal to include women's track and field in the official Olympic Games.
