"Kyle Busch was only five years older than me...I've been thinking about health stuff I've been putting off. I'm not speculating on anything but we've all thought about it. We shouldn't put anything off, mend relationships while we can, hug loved ones while we can, because you never know."
Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
Sky full of stars.
Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.
THE ARTEMIS II ECLIPSE.

Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.
This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.
Significant weather event Saturday. Expect multiple waves of severe storms with supercells possible in the morning & afternoon ahead of a squall line that sweeps across the area. ➡️ Main Threats: tornadoes (some could be strong), damaging winds, large hail.
This is not Buffalo, NY, this is Pensacola, FL with near-whiteout conditions and heavy snow.
This is perhaps the closest Pensacola has gotten and will ever get to a Blizzard in this generation... Absolutely incredible.
10:55 CDT Monday Update: Milton rapidly intensifies into a category 5 hurricane. Data from a @53rdWRS hurricane hunter aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to 160 mph (250 km/h) with higher gusts. Follow the latest at https://t.co/tW4KeGe9uJ
11:20pm EDT 26th September -- #Hurricane#Helene has made landfall in the Florida Big Bend region at around 11:10pm EDT just E of the mouth of the Aucilla

Update 6:20 PM EDT Thurs: Helene now an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane
A NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft currently investigating Helene recently found that the maximum sustained winds have increased to 130 mph (215 km/h). The minimum central pressure has also decreased to 947 mb (27.96 inches) based on dropsonde data.
The latest GRAF model, which nearly perfected Idalia and Debby, has just come out and it is suggesting that #HurricaneHelene may become stronger than a minimal Catgory 4 and further east than the NHC Cone.
