Fingers crossed for parachutes deploying and payload retrieval for the students of Spring-Ford High School and sharing science with the region.

[Dan Leppold @dolostone]

Space balloon disintegrated as we approached 90,000 feet, plummeting back right now. Fingers crossed the parachutes deploy!

We did not make it over 100,000 feet but did make it to the edge of space with a black sky for sure!

Looking forward to payload box recovery!

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

After growing edge of space veggies and herbs in recent years, I am excited about the the learning outcomes for the today's edge-of-space science launch for @dolostone's Pennsylvania high schoolers whose experiments are among experiments lifting from a balloon in Colorado!

[Dan Leppold @dolostone]

Our Hydrogen space balloon is labeled 347 & launches from CO today at 10am East Coast time. #stem

You can track it's elevation & speed on the website below. Hopefully it makes it to over 100,000 ft where the sky is black & there is almost no pressure.

Grateful to speak for a third time to @USDOC employees about sustainable environmental practices. We @VCEMG master gardeners enjoy marrying our professional skills with science-based methods to make research relatable and build better backyard #biodiversity.

Thanks Christina @MusikFrau for the photo!

More than a dozen fireflies twinkled over our backyard on April 15 — six weeks earlier than we have ever seen them. @capitalweather, if lightning bugs are the summer predictor that @PunxsutawneyPhil is to spring, what does this say about coming months?

Northern Virginia sees stars with the @fairfaxparks and @AnalemmaSociety partnership at Observatory Park. 2023's attendance is nearly half of 2022's attendance, which doubled previous years. University astronomy students hone research skills, too. https://t.co/Al4n6OphmT

This is what you get when you ask the sports guy to come in to cover a blizzard in the morning show.

British politics just got rickrolled.

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

He gets my vote.

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

My worlds collided while writing this story. Music, education, science, and the value of supporting local media @GFConnection and @ConnectionNewspapers. Looking forward to seeing Kat perform with Queen’s @DrBrianMay one day.

Never will I forget seeing the original “Stars and Stripes Forever” written in Sousa’s hand and the first Haynes C piccolo designed for that grandioso and the sight generating wet happy tears just before my job interview at the @librarycongress. ❤️🎵 This collection is amazing!

[Carla Hayden @LibnOfCongress]

The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute.
@lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are “Good as hell.”😉

[Christian Davenport @SpaceDavenport]

And now it's officially a scrub. NASA unable to launch SLS today as part of its Artemis program. Backup dates are Monday or Tuesday, but it's not clear that NASA will go for it or to wait to fix the hydrogen leak.

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

@KeithM_Photos @WESH YES! Let’s light this candle! GO #Artemis1!

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

Water spout off Daytona Beach this afternoon. Hoping #Artemis launch has clear weather on Monday. @wesh #weather #daytona #waterspout

This tweet made my week.
A @washpost sports reporter calls a colleague on grammar usage. @APStylebook to the rescue.

[Barry Svrluga @barrysvrluga]

Sam, apparently, doesn't know when to use "I" and "me." (The subject here, Sam, is "You," right?")

I'll lecture him later. But join us in five minutes.

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

We’re about to witness a supernova of science. @POTUS releases one of the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope at 5:30 ET at https://t.co/mVzy7sKqVi. @nasa Images, data and will ignite imagination, curiosity and learning. #JWST

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

We all grow when we share skills and enthusiasm.
Today, I shared sustainable gardening tips with 500+ @CommerceGov employees during a Veggie Gardening 101 webinar. Thanks for inviting @VCEMG #Fairfax #mastergardeners, sharing resources and best practices! #planthappiness

[Christina TylerWenks @MusikFrau]

This @NASAJPL Solar System Ambassador volunteering with @AnalemmaSociety was caught engaging young minds and encouraging curiosity. Grateful to share equinox lessons and info about my favorite star — our sun — with the community. https://t.co/4RHRuKjq6k
