These images are literally night and day! The Artemis II crew took the left photo on their way to the Moon. It shows Earth at night, lit only by moonlight, using long exposure camera settings. The photo from Apollo 17 shows Earth’s surface during the day, lit by sunlight.

Ohio State just won its first @B1GLacrosse regular-season title. Within a roster bought into Nick Myers' vision is an unsung hero the lacrosse world needs to know more about. The story of team manager Myles Baliotti 👇

The holidays are over and the New Year has begun. The good news? Sunsets are now later, & the amount of daylight is increasing! The bad news? Over the next week or so, sunrises will be later. After mid-Jan? Daylight increases exponentially!

The preeminent ECMWF weather model is forecasting a record-breaking ridge of high pressure in the Northeast U.S. later next week 💪 🟡 Called a "600 decameter ridge", these monstrous highs are a relatively rare summertime visitor to the central and western U.S. but have not been recorded over the Northeast U.S. — yet. Because air expands and rises as it warms, this ridge pumps higher up into the atmosphere. The height of the ridge is related to the temperature of the atmosphere. In this case, the height of the 500 hPa pressure level is forecast to reach 6 kilometers or 3.7 miles. ⏫ Described another way, the ridge is forecast to be about as tall as 16 Empire State Buildings stacked on top of one another! It remains to be seen just how hot it gets under this noteworthy ridge and if it indeed reaches 600 decameters, but 100+ degree temperatures appear possible for parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic later next week...

The Northern Lights created a jaw-dropping show across America on Friday night in all 50 states 🤩🤩 bit.ly/4aiq3JY

@Wapplax watch and learn

The path of the 2024 #TotalSolarEclipse was wider than 2017, providing longer totality. Here is a visual comparison illustrating this difference via similarly enhanced #GOESEast CONUS images for both events. Learn more on the CIMSS Satellite Blog at cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-blog…

Countdown to the eclipse: 17 days to go! Here's a fun fact about total solar eclipses.

More counters to work on @Wapplax

Another technique for @Wapplax Face-off guys to work on this year. What are you doing this off-season to make the team better?

Will there be rain, ice, or snow? Find out how wintry precipitation forms! nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrw…

@GerryCarlin One revived the idea (Aristarchus originally proposed), one provided the observable evidence, another changed the orbits to better explain it all and then one came along and proved them all correct

@Mr_Ignatz 100% agree, but one particular scientists was the first to propose the theory.

“Are you smarter than a 6th grader?” Before this scientist's work, people in Europe widely believed that the Earth was the center of the universe around which all other planets and stars revolved.

@Wapplax something for our Faceoff crew to work on in this fall and though the off-season

More things to learn and practice @Wapplax

Things you should be working on this fall @Wapplax
