It's our home.

This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

At Newark Liberty Airport, United Airlines welcomed about 100 puppies training to become guide dogs, helping them practice boarding, sitting, waiting and navigating a busy terminal.

Florida State University honors the memory of those lost and all who were impacted by the tragedy on campus one year ago, April 17.

At noon, the FSU community will pause for a moment of silence and reflection. This time will be marked by the sound of bells ringing across campus, followed by a moment of silence.

The Student Government Association will host a space for reflection on Legacy Walk, near the FSU letters, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Flowers will be available for placement on the FSU letters, along with messages of hope.

The Unconquered Statue will be lit throughout the day as a symbol of remembrance and resilience.

WOW!
Another picture of the Picayune Strand fire in Collier County. This was taken by one of our WINK Weather Watchers, Matthew R., looking south towards Wiggins Pass from Barefoot Beach.
The latest updates show that this is now a 1,000-acre brush fire that is 15% contained.

@hurricane_chase safe travels!!!

🔥 NEW: Crews are batting a 180-acre brush fire in Picayune Strand State Forest in Collier County. Easterly winds will bring this smoke west towards Naples and surrounding communities. #flwx #naples

A dog in Ireland couldn’t wait in the car any longer and started honking the horn for its owner.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

[Lauren Kreidler @WeatherWithLaur]

SO COOL!

[NASA @NASA]

Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

HI FROM ORLANDO! ⛈️
I’m excited to be here learning from the experts at the National Hurricane Conference! #NHC2026

From forecasts to recovery plans, it’s all about keeping communities safe. I’ll be bringing you the top takeaways this evening live on WINK News… see you then!

HURRICANE SEASON: The NHC released today their report of the best performing forecast models from last year's 2025 season. In a first ever, the artificial intelligence Google model took gold as the best performing for track forecasts the entire year, beating the NHC forecasts. In a not so shocking turn, the GFS (American model) was dead last in accuracy.

I should note, for intensity forecasting, the NHC edged out the Google AI weather model to be #1. This is a glimpse at the future how our training of AI weather models and machine learning is going to exponentially aid in the advancement and accuracy of major weather forecasts.

Happy vernal equinox! 🍀

Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.

After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.
