I didn't think it was possible, not in my lifetime anyway. +49.6°C in Canada 🇨🇦 That is 121°F! This is the story of the Canadian heat record that was crushed on 3 consecutive days by an unfathomable margin of +4.6°C (+8°F). This moment will be talked about for centuries.

We’ve been conditioned for years that climate change is normal. No discussion of how huge corporations pollute the entire planet or how a shifting climate of even a few degrees completely destroys homes, families, buildings and streets. We’ve had ENOUGH. THREAD! 🚨

This is one of the coolest shots of a Falcon 9 landing I’ve ever seen!!! I love how the engine violently reorients the stage on ignition and how they plan that into the landing trajectory. Such impressive engineering. B1060-8 just became B1060-9! 🙌

You might have seen photos from Mars, but have you seen high-speed video? 🤩 We captured our @NASAPersevere rover’s final minutes of descent and landing in a way never seen before. Take a look: youtu.be/GUqsH5y1j1M

BREAKING - Ladies and Gentlemen - We have made the first confirmed detection of intermediate mass black holes with LIGO and Virgo detectors. An honor of a lifetime to be given a leading role in this historic discovery. #GW190521
