The widespread deployment of outdoor electric lighting means that the night is no longer dark for most people.

A new special issue of Science examines the effects of #LightPollution on the natural world, human health, and the night sky. https://t.co/7SbIlULAJO (THREAD 🧵)

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!

These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

Today is #Juneteenth, commemorating the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were finally able to claim their freedom. In a conversation filmed at @SpaceCenterHou, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the holiday and its history.

Smoke from wildfires in Quebec moved across eastern portions of Canada and the U.S. this week. This @NASAEarth computer model used satellite, aircraft, and ground-based data to track the black carbon particles (soot) and hazardous air. https://t.co/KzZIObgUYy

Field trip in the great outdoors for the win!

[Angela Francis @OCMSTEMConnect]

Real world problems make the best #STEM design challenges! And think of all the soft skills these Ss are practicing-collaboration, problem solving, leadership, empathy, communication just to name a few. Way to go @mrsj0126 @CECSDistrict

[Mrs. Johnson @mrsj0126]

Ss engineering ways to test impervious and permeable surfaces impacts on hydrology factors. What is the the best paving surface? Stay tuned…

I love this-integration of #STEM engages students!

This shows the interconnectedness of our world. Share local phenomena with Ss...and tie to environmental impacts, weather, health, pollution. #Science

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

WOW! This is the view from the The George Washington bridge running from Manhattan, New York to New Jersey.

- This is all stemming from Central Canada, where wildfires are burning in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

- In total there are 211 reported wildfires burning in these two provinces, with 145 of them considered "out of control".

- These fires started because of unseasonable hot and dry conditions, and have already forced 10,000 residents to evacuate their homes in Quebec.

I think what this shows us is how fragile and interconnected the entire world really is environmentally.

An event that takes place in another country can have major impacts and implications on our own. We are all in this thing together. Let's get along and work together to figure things out. The environment is a great place to start.

In honor of #WorldOceanDay, we’re highlighting some of our most exciting research and commentary on #MarineBiology and #ocean research. This beautiful study from @RebeccaRHelm &co catalogues life in the North Pacific “Garbage Patch” https://t.co/0xFKnJyS7X

Video recorded by #HVO geologists of the new #Kilauea eruption. This clip is from the west rim of the crater at approximately 6 a.m. HST. Telephoto view shows multiple active vent sources and lava flooding the crater floor.

So creative! Love this #STEM design challenge
