The first data from NASA's SPHEREx mission are out!
Check out this video, showing the entire sky in infrared light. The Milky Way runs as a band across the center. Each frame shows a different infrared wavelength, with light from stars, hot gas, and cosmic dust. 🔭🧪

(Robert Reich) I debated passing this on...but decided to anyway. This 2.5-minute YouTube video illustrates Trump at his finest as he approaches dementia. Horribly funny and also pitiful. You don't have to watch it all for sure, but it is hilarious.
Enjoy.

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

Good Morning! I took this photo in the Faroe Islands. It works for the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSForShadows #EastCoastKin #Photography #Rainbow
With me in the center! Because...the rainbow's geometric center is precisely opposite the sun relative to my position, which is where the shadow falls.
