Memorial Day calls us to remember those who gave everything so the American story could continue. As we approach 250 years as a nation, we honor the courage and sacrifice that made that story possible.

For nearly 80 years, Fisher Space Pen has been carried by those writing history as it unfolds. This Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who made that history possible. Their story lives on.

[Fisher Space Pen Co. @FisherPenCo]

America was built by people who showed up, put in the work, and pushed past the edge of what seemed possible, and that same spirit shaped us from the start. Our founder, Paul C. Fisher, set out to build a tool that never quits, and that legacy lives in every pen we make.

The America 250 Collection honors the builders, dreamers, and explorers who keep moving this country forward. The next chapter belongs to the ones willing to pick up a pen and write it. Write what comes next.

I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun.

The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇

One month ago today, I shared one of the most surreal moments of my astrophotography journey: my involvement in the Project Hail Mary movie.

A month later, it still honestly does not feel real.

[rocky happy not alone @HeirPlain]

Rocky: I didn't get you anything :(

Grace: *holding back tears* You gave me everything.

Exactly what my advisor told me.

it will never be perfect. Just finish it.”

@FisherPenCo I carry my AG7 every day!
Seriously, I have 14 @FisherPenCo pens and have only replaced the ink once because I wanted a different color.
They are the best!

NUCLEAR 101: Roughly a third of the reactors operating in the U.S. are boiling water reactors.

They heat water and produce steam directly inside the reactor vessel that is used to spin a turbine to produce reliable power.
