To me, the Blue Marble image from #Apollo17 is the most important #photograph ever taken. It showcases our common identity, our common destiny, and our common fragility. It is a call to action for all humans to embrace these commonalities and build a prosperous future together.

50 years ago today, the #Apollo17 astronauts took this photo of Earth. Frequently referred to as the "Blue Marble," it is one of the most widely-distributed images in existence. #Apollo50

The more I read about FTX's debacle, the more I am stunned that #VentureCapital could invest billions in such risky bets with minimal financial oversight or third-party audit, whereas the under-resourced #nonprofit sector, genuinely trying to do good, is regulated up the wazoo.

"Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground – and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of a vast universe".

Might as well end my work day right now.

[Dr. Graham Lau @cosmobiologist]

Holy smokes! This is only the beginning of the data and imagery to come from the telescope. But this is one incredible place to start.

I saw a blind person touch an ice-cream food truck that had closed for the day. The owner was still inside and noticed the blind person searching for the order-window. The owner came out, let him know that he was closed for the day, and gave him ice-cream anyway. #NiceHumans

Third Officer, Dmitrii Rybalka, was on watch on his ship one evening as they approached the Kara Straight in Russia back in 2021 when he managed to snap this incredible image of the aurora. Even in times of uncertainty, there is so much beauty to be found in our world.
