Ozone Hole Continues Shrinking in 2022, NASA and NOAA Scientists Say
The annual Antarctic ozone hole reached an average area of 8.9 million square miles this fall, an area slightly smaller than last year and generally continuing the overall shrinking trend of recent years.Kate Ramsayer (NASA)
50 years ago, Skylab's prime spider, Arabella, was preparing for launch. From over 3,400 proposals from high school students across the country, the "Web Formation" experiment was one of 25 chosen to fly on Skylab. #Skylab50
📸 Dr. Ray Gause feeds Arabella a fly in July 1973
#NASAhistory
Judith Miles, a high school student from Lexington, Mass. (shown here discussing her project), proposed the “Web Formation in Zero Gravity” experiment to determine how well spiders adapt to microgravity.

These students were the first ever to have experiments flown in space, but they weren't the last. Student experiments have been conducted on the @Space_Station over the last 20+ years.
📸 The 25 students whose Skylab experiments were chosen meet at @NASA_Marshall in May 1972
#NASAhistory
I proposed an experiment for one of the space shuttle missions that flew science “cans” when I was a kid. My idea didn’t make the cut, but I didn’t mind when I saw how amazing the winning projects were.
(Bonus pointless fact: I applied for the astronaut program when I was a grownup. I didn’t make the cut, but I didn’t mind when I saw how amazing the people who were selected turned out to be.)

The Day the Earth Smiled
In this rare image taken on July 19, 2013, the wide-angle camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame.NASA
MOVED to @chjara@meow.tuxcrafting.online reshared this.
The dark side of Saturn, its bright limb, the main rings, the F ring, and the G and E rings are clearly seen; the limb of Saturn and the F ring are overexposed. The "breaks" in the brightness of Saturn's limb are due to the shadows of the rings on the globe of Saturn, preventing sunlight from shining through the atmosphere in those regions. The E and G rings have been brightened for better visibility.
