Yesterday, NASA’s uncrewed Orion spacecraft reached its max distance from Earth — 268,563 miles from Earth!
Orion will continue in its distant retrograde orbit for a few more days before swinging by the Moon again on its way back to Earth. 🌏👋🛰🌒

A raccoon, black & white warbler, female or juvenile american redstart, and a question mark butterfly (thank you @BirdCentralPark for help id’ing) on a much cooler summer day in the Ramble.

A quick pose from a lizard, a lucky capture of a butterfly, a dinosaur looking white ibis eating palm seeds, and a sleep eastern screech-owl all art of great Florida weekend.
Every spring, migratory birds fly from South and Central America to the continental U.S. 🐦
A new @NASA study showed that precisely when the birds arrive is influenced by large climate patterns originating thousands of miles away. https://t.co/mYCaoOmHVk
