This video zooms out from ESO's headquarters, out to Germany, beyond Europe & the Earth, out past the Solar System and our Milky Way galaxy, reaching a point where every single point of light flashing by is an entire galaxy

What can we learn by drilling a spring mound in @tulelakenps? A lot! Springs in the Las Vegas Valley record dynamic changes in groundwater levels in response to hydroclimate variations. 💧 See for yourself! 👉 ow.ly/EYHM50NkvJi

#MtStHelens eruption 43 years ago today taught volcanologists a great deal about the science of monitoring the behavior of these composite #volcanoes. Sadly, lives were lost in the process.
We continue to learn to better predict and mitigate these threats.
Richard "Dick" Lasher was on his way to drive his dirt bike when Mount St Helens erupted #Today in 1980. The iconic photo of his red Ford Pinto tells the story of how he survived

Inspiring video-
The @NASA Artemis II crewed mission around the Moon will inspire the next generation of explorers, and show every child – in America, in Canada, and across the world – that if they can dream it, they can be it.

Awesome!
Congratulations to Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman of NASA, and Jeremy Hansen, as the #NASA Artemis 2 crew in ‘24! This is a great honor, a proud moment for you and for the nation. Your role in carrying out America’s effort in space will be one of high inspiration!

Still snowing!!!!!
STILL SNOWING: I-5 Grapevine continues to see heavy winter conditions at Apple Canyon near Pyramid Lake in @CountyofLA. Closure is from Parker Rd to Grapevine Rd. @CaltransDist7 continues to work around the clock to clear roadways, drains and debris.
Wow!
This is not a time-lapse video. Amazing footage of a river of lava moving at an incredible speed captured by photographer Ken Boyer.

This is not our first BLIZZARD WARNING ever issued. This is the first since VTEC coding was implemented in 2006.
Due to the potential for strong winds and heavy snow, a BLIZZARD WARNING was issued for the #LACounty and #VenturaCounty mountains from 4 am Friday to 4 pm Saturday. Snow accumulations up to 5 feet and wind gusts in excess of 55 mph are expected. #CAsnow #CAwx

Amazing work done by Ballard and his team. Historic and unforgettable!

#Nazism went viral in 1930’s Germany.
As they conquered, they ‘purified’ EU populations by shipping people tagged as ‘sub-human’ to camps to be murdered.
Their cultures looted by the #SS

Meanwhile Germans enjoyed their booming economy.
For the world #Auschwitz is a symbol of the #Holocaust & crimes of WW2, a painful reminder of what ideologies of hatred may lead humanity to.
In 2005 @UN declared 27 January - the date of the liberation of #Auschwitz - as the International #HolocaustRemembranceDay

A M6.4 earthquake has occurred south of Eureka, CA in northern CA (Humboldt Co.). Additional shaking from aftershocks is expected in the region. We are continuing to monitor this event, so check back for additional information. #Humboldt #earthquake
Beautiful!
Native Hawaiians held cultural ceremonies for Pele, the goddess of volcanoes and fire, in recent weeks following Mauna Loa’s first eruption since 1984. "We had to be here for this," said a teacher who brought her 12-year-old daughter to see the eruption. nyti.ms/3YdXKY8
