I kept this story in my pocket for a long time.... In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day. Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys. My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on. We didn't win. 19 consecutive losing seasons. 2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive. After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over. "My mom wants to talk to you." We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons. She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up. Roberto Jr. translated. "My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy." She was staring right at me. Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth: "I promise you, Vera. That won't happen." Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it." I said, "I hope I can keep it too." I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it. The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20. On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field. And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life. The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug. Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them. @Pirates

🌌🛣️ James Webb Found a Cosmic Highway. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have observed a huge structure — a chain of around 20 galaxies stretching millions of light-years across the early universe. This structure is likely part of the cosmic web, where dark matter guides the formation of galaxies along filaments. The light from these galaxies has traveled for over 13 billion years, revealing how the universe began organizing itself into large-scale patterns. This discovery gives us a glimpse of the universe’s early “skeleton” — the framework that shaped everything we see today.

You're looking at one of the rarest things ever photographed from space. A red sprite — a 50-mile-tall electrical discharge that fires upward out of a thunderstorm into the edge of space. It exists for milliseconds. Nitrogen molecules in the mesosphere glow pink for a fraction of a heartbeat, then it's gone. NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers caught this one from the ISS, over Mexico and the US. Lightning we know. This is something else.
