New sights of the Universe! Thank you, Webb telescope and all those who made it possible! @NASA
👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/
ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.
I finally reached my goal of seeing Jane Goodall's exhibit! I had the chance this past March when I visited L.A. Best of all? My son and I saw the exhibition together! I highly recommend it, especially in the company of somebody special! @JaneGoodallInst youtu.be/ZtA9zl96Ifo

Celebrate #NationalWildlifeDay!
September 4 is #NationalWildlifeDay! Let's celebrate all of these animals that live in the United States. From elk, to buffalo, to mink, to coyote...all of these animals play an important role in their ecosystems. Everything is connected. @MarloWordyBird @janetsfox
Over a half-century ago, a girl and brother ran away to New York City in E.L. #Konigsburg's imaginary adventure 'Mrs. Basil E. #Frankweiler and Her Mixed-Up Files.'

Very cool story about a little known #tradition. How Nainoa Thompson learned to read the waves and tap into the #magic of the #Polynesian #wayfinding tradition. hakaimagazine.com/article-sh… via @hakaimagazine
Living in southern #Texas, my favorite thing about #autumn is that cooler temperatures invite us to enjoy the outdoors more. #ILoveNature
There is so much beauty in autumn 🍄🍁✨
With the changing of the leaves and forest floors filled with fungi it really is a magical time of year! What is your favourite thing about autumn?

Cheers to space inspiration!
Learning how to grow edible plants in the challenging and confined conditions on board a space station can help us get creative about doing the same on Earth.#urbangardening #Verticalgarden #space #ScienceMatters

A piece of the universe's history is coming to Earth. #Science, #engineering, ingenuity, hard work and many fingers crossed made it possible. #ToBennuAndBack #asteroid
This week, NASA's OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft successfully touched and collected a sample from the surface of asteroid Bennu—without a human at the controls. #ToBennuandBack

It's #MonarchButterfly season in South Texas!
Many of us are familiar with monarch butterflies—a common sight in Texas backyards throughout the fall season. Find out why South Texas is critical to the survival of this species: nature.ly/37HgkQH
