Happy Spring!

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

Spring has sprung! 🌸🌼

Today is the spring equinox, the day when the Sun crosses over Earth’s equator.

What does that mean for us on Earth? Equal amounts of daylight in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres! https://t.co/lI2hY65FpY

Dolphins x Astronauts: The collab we didn't know we needed 🐬

A pod of curious dolphins added extra meaning and porpoise to the recovery of #Crew9's @SpaceX Dragon and its four explorers shortly after splashdown.

[NASA @NASA]

#Crew9 will soon be headed back to Earth—but in their time on the @Space_Station, they've helped with @ISS_Research studies to design better reactors, build wooden satellites, and prepare for missions to the Moon and Mars: https://t.co/CKZmVKRe94

We’re baaack! 🌕

Blue Ghost has landed, safely delivering 10 NASA scientific investigations and tech demos that will help us learn more about the lunar environment and support future astronauts on the Moon and Mars.

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

The Moon is so close, we can taste it!

New footage from @fireflyspace shows their lunar lander's view from 60 miles (100 km) above the Moon. Blue Ghost will land at Mare Crisium, on the near side of the Moon, on March 2, no earlier than 3:34am ET (0834 UTC).

Love the snooze feature! I snooze emails containing articles and videos, so they pop up on the weekend. It clears up my inbox during the work week and reminds me of neat articles to read when I have more time. 👍🏻

[Gmail @gmail]

Work/life balance is in for 2025 and snoozing email alerts is one step towards achieving it. Swipe through to see how to do it. → https://t.co/1KwStCxddL

The trunk of the Ceiba speciosa tree is covered in spines to deter animals from climbing. It is also called a refuge tree as nesting animals are safer from predation

These are Catasetum orchids, as bees probe inside they trigger this yellow sac of pollen called pollinia to be launched,
attaching to the back of a bee with a sticky pad, watch here

When they later visit female flowers, the pollinia fits for pollination

❄️ Check out the flakes tomorrow!! ❄️

[Eric Fisher @ericfisher]

Part of forecasting snow is figuring out what kinds of snowflakes will form. This system doesn't look prime for the good ones (dendrites) during most of the event. Expecting more plates and columns, which don't accumulate as nicely as they otherwise would have given the cold air
