Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay so we're taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look at, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet. For free.

What a system. ❤️

60 years ago today, NASA took a pivotal step toward mastering spacewalking. After Ed White’s groundbreaking spacewalk in 1965, NASA's next attempt pushed the limits of human endurance.

On June 5, 1966, Gene Cernan undertook America’s ambitious second spacewalk, battling a stiff suit, limited maneuverability, and extreme heat. Though the EVA was cut short, the challenges he faced helped shape the future of spacewalk design and safety.

Happy National Bee Day! 🐝 Bees are small but important. They pollinate many of the plants that provide the food we eat! The Cincinnati Zoo is committed to protecting pollinators by planting pollinator-friendly gardens & supporting habitats that help bees & other species thrive.

[Mark Rees @reviewwales]

Folklore tells us that bees should be told when somebody dies:
“It was formerly customary in Wales for the head of the household to tell the bees when a death took place. The news should be whispered cautiously.”
Hives were also turned around before a funeral.
