What is something you learned in school that you couldn't forget if you tried, and why is it "THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL"??

Looking at posterity in the airport, people in Michigan are not missing any meals.

I’m at Metro Airport.

It feels like a new airport without Spirit’s customers.

[NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day @apod]

In an interplanetary first, on July 19, 2013 Earth was photographed on the same day from two other worlds of the Solar System, innermost planet Mercury and ringed gas giant Saturn.

Pictured on the left, Earth is the pale blue dot just below the rings of Saturn, as captured by the robotic Cassini spacecraft then orbiting the outermost gas giant.

On that same day people across planet Earth snapped many of their own pictures of Saturn.

On the right, the Earth-Moon system is seen against the dark background of space as captured by the sunward MESSENGER spacecraft, then in Mercury orbit.

MESSENGER took its image as part of a search for small natural satellites of Mercury, moons that would be expected to be quite dim. In the MESSENGER image, the brighter Earth and Moon are both overexposed and shine brightly with reflected sunlight.

Destined not to return to their home world, both Cassini and MESSENGER have since retired from their missions of Solar System exploration.

[Michigan House Republicans @MI_Republicans]

The Whitmer Administration is in violation of our agreement to bring state employees back to work.

COVID is over. There’s no reason why government workers shouldn’t be back in their offices.

People all over Michigan are getting up early, starting their engines, and showing up to work to keep this state going. They deserve a government that respects them and does the same.

If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

[Elizabeth Taylor @ElizabethTaylor]

On this day in 1963, ‘Cleopatra’ was never lacking drama. While filming this scene, Elizabeth feared the thousands of extras hired for the shoot would boo her, after her affair with co-star Richard Burton had been publicly condemned by the Vatican. Instead, they cheered her on.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Last year, Eric Murphy, a Republican state rep from North Dakota, tried to expand the window in which women could access abortion.

“I might lose an election over this,” he said, “but would I rather win an election by not doing the right thing?”
