@SherrodBrown I contributed to your campaign for the Senate through @actblue and I've been inundated with unwelcome texts from other candidates. Not cool Sir.

In this animation from GOES Lightning Mapper, you can see a quick moment where it shows "lighting strikes" in a row just north of Cleveland. This is actually detecting the meteor burning up as it enters the lower atmosphere! #fireball #meteor #cleveland #OHwx

This experiment performed at Neil Armstrong test facility in Sandusky Ohio couple miles from my home.

This experiment breaks your brain 🤯

Remove air in the world’s largest vacuum chamber, drop a bowling ball and feathers, and Galileo is proven right—400 years later.

Here's an image of a 110 year old glass plate of two images of Jupiter taken by the renown astronomer E.C. Slipher in 1915. This item is part of my astronomy collection. #astronomy #vintage #solarsystem

Feel so good to be healthy. Often we don't realize how close all of us come to one day being on the other side of this equation.

"Here, I grew up". Abraham Lincoln said it first. This is where it happened for me.

Don't pay much attention to the deaths of rockstars, but Ozzy Osbourne's demise--while not one of my favorite artists--his work permeated the background for most of my youth and beyond.#crazytrain

I became interested in astronomy when I was young. Maybe 11 or 12. Here is one of my first star charts. The stars glowed in the dark!

I recently partnered with our local library and presented this children's workshop.

Where the term "black ball" originated, or at least one example of it. Found in the Lorain County, Ohio Historical Society.
