@j_raasch That's a good one. Thank you. 🙂

To science loving folks:

I'm in search of a term I forgot.

The term describes our forgotten memory about nature.

Example: The current generation thinks everything is fine because they see a lot of birds, but that's current perspective not reality based on historical data.

@LevParikian That's a good one. Thank you. 🙂

The @ehtelescope team — which includes scientists from @CenterForAstro — used observations from a worldwide network of radio telescopes to look at Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*, a black hole with a mass 4 million times that of the sun.

From top to bottom, the planets are Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect people & the planet.

If we rise to meet this moment, we will see historic investments in clean energy, transportation, creating good, union jobs, protecting our forests & more. What's your vision for a more livable world?

[Amanda Blount Photography @TheNatureNut]

We created our own downfall.

I can't think of something more human than that.

Now, for our next human trick, are we going to figure out our way out of this mess?

The collapse is the first in human history for the frigid region. It happened at the beginning of a freakish warm spell last week when temperatures soared more than 70 degrees warmer than normal in some spots of East Antarctica. https://t.co/rI0H3EoTAA

Not good at all.

Yellowstone National Park turns 150 years old.

The world famous site became the first national park in the U.S. on March 1, 1872, when President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. https://t.co/eVfM1caqkO

[Sequoia & Kings Cyn @SequoiaKingsNPS]

Any student of the history of Sequoia and Kings Canyon has heard the name Charles Young, whose military career included a productive period as superintendent of Sequoia and then-General Grant National Parks in 1903. He was the first Black superintendent of a national park.

Farming octopuses for food feels wrong on so many levels.

[Reuters Science News @ReutersScience]

Last year, researchers at the London School of Economics concluded from a review of 300 scientific studies that octopus were sentient beings capable of experiencing distress and happiness, and that high-welfare farming would be impossible https://t.co/c3V4522e3E 6/6

"Disrupting reindeer husbandry without satisfactory mitigation measures hurts human rights, so the turbines’ permits are invalid, the court said."

"That’s different than declaring them illegal, so the government hasn't ordered the machines dismantled." https://t.co/giyn0w5tBb

Living in a National Park means Maxwell has lots of wild neighbours. Some, like these warthogs, are on the hunt for an easy breakfast. Don't worry though, there's more than enough to share and Maxwell never goes hungry! #BehindTheScenes
