The share of counties where 95% or more of kindergartners were vaccinated against measles has dropped from 50% before the pandemic to 28%, according to our analysis of public records from 44 states and the District of Columbia. At least 19,000 schools are now more vulnerable to outbreaks.

We have tons of hooded mergansers on the lake near my house right now. They're very skittish; I hid behind a tree to get this one, and even then this is a full crop of a 600mm shot so not great resolution

Importantly, this was how the weightless astronauts actually saw Earth that day, with the South Pole at the top, tilted toward the Sun. Most subsequent reproductions reoriented it based on how we assume our planet looks from space.
The photograph is now known as the Blue Marble shot.
