🚀🌌 Voyager 1 has left the Sun's protective bubble—the heliosphere—and is now traveling through interstellar space, over 25 billion km from Earth. Launched in 1977, it's the most distant human-made object ever. Yet even after nearly 50 years, it isn't close to another star. At its current speed, reaching the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, would take tens of thousands of years. A humbling reminder of both human curiosity and the unimaginable scale of the universe. ✨

Technology is only worth it when students create. A glowing screen is not proof of deep learning. Read STEMrific Dispatch Vol. 22:stemrificdispatch.beehiiv.com/p/stemrific-di… #STEMrific #EdTech #STEMEducation #TechnologyIntegration #STEAMEducation

Four JPL-built propulsive drones – known as MoonFall – will survey the lunar surface at potential @NASAArtemis landing sites in unprecedented detail. The mission is part of the initial phase of the @NASAMoonBase initiative. Learn more: jpl.nasa.gov/missions/moonf…

Is classroom tech just 'glitter'? Stop using screens to decorate compliance. Use them to reveal student thinking. Before your next lesson, ask: 'Tech is worth it when students CREATE ___ to show mastery of ___ because ___.' Let's shift the culture! stemrificdispatch.beehiiv.com/p/stemrific-di…

NASA Just Dropped the Sharpest True-Color Image of the Moon Ever Captured! Forget the dull grey rock you’ve seen in every textbook and photo. NASA has released a stunning new true-color mosaic of the Moon that reveals its real face — a vibrant, mineral-rich world painted in rusty browns, deep blues, pale golds, and subtle reds.This isn’t an artistic rendering. It’s the highest-resolution, most accurate color view of the lunar surface ever made publicly available.What the colors actually mean:Bluish patches = Titanium-rich mare basalts (some of the most valuable resources on the Moon) Reddish-orange and brown tones = Iron-rich soils and ancient feldspar highlands Pale golds and whites = Pure anorthosite crust from the Moon’s early magma ocean Every shade is a 4.5-billion-year-old chemical fingerprint telling the story of volcanic eruptions, massive impacts, and the Moon’s fiery birth.Key Highlights: Highest-resolution true-color image of the entire Moon to date Reveals mineral composition visible to the naked eye (if you were standing on the surface) Combines decades of orbital data into one breathtaking global portrait Proves the Moon is far more geologically diverse and colorful than we’ve been taught We’ve been staring at the wrong version of our nearest neighbor for centuries. The real Moon isn’t monochrome — it’s a swirling canvas of cosmic chemistry, just three days away by spacecraft.The era of serious lunar exploration just got a lot more beautiful.

Benjamin E. Mays High School celebrates an extraordinary milestone as Valedictorian Bethany Momon, Salutatorian Justin Allen, and STAR Student Ralph Long IV prepare to continue their journeys together at Georgia Tech this fall! 🎓✨ For Ralph Long IV, the moment carries a deeply personal meaning. He follows in the footsteps of his grandfather, Ralph Long Jr., one of Georgia Tech’s first Black students admitted in 1961 and part of The Three Pioneers, a legacy that continues to inspire generations. We’re proud to celebrate this historic achievement. Check out the news story: cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/a… #APSExcellence #AtlantaPublicSchools
