Who's ready for lunch?
Skylab astronauts ate a much wider variety of foods than the Apollo astronauts. With over 70 kinds of foods provided, including some frozen foods, they could reheat portions of their meal in special trays that slotted into the ward room's table.

Still, the Skylab 2 crew members weren't big fans. Food that tasted good in Houston tasted worse in space. The most popular item: German potato salad #Skylab50

Large amounts of smoke have been pouring into the eastern U.S. from fires in Quebec. The wildfire smoke is degrading the quality of surface-level air that tens of millions of people breathe.
Several NASA satellites are collecting data on the plumes: go.nasa.gov/3p1pPFk

This image from @NOAA’s GOES-16 shows smoke sweeping into New York and Pennsylvania on the morning of June 7.
Are wildfires getting worse? Unfortunately, yes.
Changes in our climate have led to wildfires increasing in intensity, severity, size and duration.

How did winter storms affect California’s water supply?
Data from the GRACE-FO satellite show the greatest net gain of water over the winter in nearly 22 years, but the state’s groundwater, used for irrigation, could take years to fully recharge.
