A large wildfire broke out on La Palma, the most northwesterly of the Canary Islands.
Fires here are common in the summer due to the island’s dry climate. @nasa's Aqua satellite captured the stream of smoke on July 15. go.nasa.gov/46S2hEb

What's going on with the hole in the ozone layer?
Thanks to a global effort to regulate ozone-depleting substances, the ozone hole is showing signs of recovery and is projected to return to a healthy level by mid-century. nasa.gov/esnt/2022/ozone-hole-…

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)
Nice.
Just on time for humans to finally cop on to the fact that we have killed ourselves with our carbon excesses.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s rocket scientists!
One of our #Artemis Student Challenges recently put undergraduate students’ skills to the test during the 14th First Nations Launch High-Power Rocket Competition.
Congratulations to all the competitors: go.nasa.gov/3XW3Z3f

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.
Learn more about her experiment: go.nasa.gov/3OhDEt4
#NASAhistory
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.
