Come for the data. Stay for the art.
The @USGS 3D Elevation Program, or 3DEP, provides detailed elevation data that helps communities plan infrastructure, manage natural resources, understand flood and landslide risks, support emergency response and more. 1/3
A deep analysis of what may have lead to the Nepal glacial collapse and a breakdown of how the flood overtook communities in a matter if minutes. #Nepal#flood#weather
So yeah that total solar eclipse was once again the coolest thing I've ever seen. This time we managed to shoot an entire video and podcast episode DURING the totality. That's coming soon! In the meantime, enjoy this drone clip from above Zaragoza, Spain. 8x speed
🗣️ Haaland: "It has been the best weeks I have had in my entire life. I think it has changed Norway. I think it has changed me. I hope it has brought the people together.
I hope this also motivates young people back home in Norway, that it is possible to play on the biggest stage wearing this jersey."
In 2025, the Dunedin Blue Jays endured 24 weather delays, 6 cancellations, and 10 postponements.
If you can't beat the weather, wear it.
Introducing the “Rain Delay Jerseys”, honoring the chaos of the Florida State League, debuting on July 18.
.@NASA doesn't make merchandise, but we do work with many vendors to review and approve things. We've seen many requests for Artemis II items, including Rise plushies, and our team is currently in the review process. Because production takes 60+ days, it will be a little while before they're ready! Keep an eye on the NASA Exchange stores for authorized items that directly support our centers.

Let’s compare @joshharttf ’s Top Fuel Dragster fuel consumption to the launch of Artemis II 🔥🚀🌔
At full throttle, a Top Fuel engine burns about 1.2–1.5 gallons of nitromethane per second.
To put it in perspective:
• The fuel pump (mechanically driven) can flow over 100 gallons per minute
• That’s more than a commercial fire hose level of flow
• The entire run (≈3.6–3.8 seconds of racing) can consume 10–15 gallons total from burnout to shutdown.
The Artemis II rocket 🚀:
The 4 core engines burn:
•1,500 gallons/sec of liquid hydrogen
• 900 gallons/sec of liquid oxygen
👉 Combined total:
•2,400 gallons/sec!!
Direct Comparison:
Top Fuel Dragster: ~1.5/gal sec reaching 340 mph
Artemis II: ~2,400/gal sec reaching speeds of 24,500 mph 😮😮
G Forces
•Top Fuel dragster launch: 4–5+ G instantly
•Artemis II launch: builds gradually to ~4 G
👉 So:
•Dragster = violent hit right away
•Rocket = sustained, controlled squeeze
And if you’re still here reading all of this, we thank you!
