A humming bird came to visit the rain garden, but I didn’t take out my camera in time. Instead, I caught this beauty! Amphion floridensis, Nessus sphinx moth.

First photos are in! 🤩 A Black Brant XII carrying the KiNET-X payload launched from Wallops Flight Facility on May 16, 2021, at 8:44 p.m. EDT. The mission released vapor tracers to explore energy transfer in space. 📸 Did you see the launch? Share your photos below with us!
