NASA confirms: this July was the hottest month on record.🌡️go.nasa.gov/3qwsszU
Our record starts in 1880, when consistent global recordkeeping became possible. It shows an undeniable pattern of increasing global temperatures, primarily from human emissions of carbon dioxide.

Mid-infrared!
Webb sees in near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths — invisible light that we feel as heat. This allows the telescope to peer back in time at the early universe, look through dust clouds to see stars being born, and more: spaceplace.nasa.gov/james-webb…

Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program, the search for planets and life beyond our solar system.Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
That's how many planets we've confirmed beyond our own solar system. Some may have rubies blowing in winds, others may have broken glass. Some are so hot, molecules can't survive. Others are so cold, everything is locked in a deep freeze. Each is just right in its own way.…

[EDIT] FLIP is saved!

Well it had to happen eventually. #Scripps is retiring FLIP (FLoating Instrument Platform). This is an amazing piece of engineering (and soooo weird on the inside - everything pivots, so walls become floors). The #ship to be towed out to a location, and it would literally flip, sinking most of the ship directly down to give a *very stable platform for #oceanography research. Launched in 1962.
