Happy #femalephysicistfriday!

This week we are highlighting Nergis Mavalvala, an astrophysicist known for her role in the first observation of gravitational waves who has also worked on the development of exotic quantum states of light.

EULOGY TO A GLACIER: 'Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier...This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening & know what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.'

We love the artwork used in @GoogleDoodles celebratory gifs.

The light, the shadows; that space dust!

50 years ago today, history was made. 🌕

Millions watched their TVs as Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin, & Collins successfully steered their lunar module to a safe landing on the crater dubbed the “Sea of Tranquility."

#STEMcomm #scicomm has to be about sharing everyone’s story.

The jury’s still out as to whether Neil Armstrong mis-spoke or we are mis-hearing, but no doubt this was ‘...one small step for (a?) man. One giant leap for mankind.’ #Apollo50

This fascinating article @SPACEdotcom sheds some light:

The @nytimes front page from the day of the moon landing! 🌑

The main article was written by two-time Pulitzer winner, John Noble Wilford, who took on the space beat for The Times in 1965.

The lede: ‘Men have landed and walked on the moon.’

Today, America put the big question to rest: We got there first. We landed on the moon with 250 million Americans watching our backs. The truth is: That mission belongs to all of them, and to future generations of Americans who dream to reach the moon once more. #Apollo50th
