This made me go looking to find that ESA has similar and in many European languages! I had no idea www.esa.int/Education/On...

For more than 26 years, Earth Observatory has been located at earthobservatory.nasa.gov. Now, as part of our next chapter, we are moving to a new home at science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory. See you there! earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/earthm...

Science e-Books - NASA Science From Earth and the other planets in our solar system, to supermassive black holes and the distant galaxies that contain them, explore NASA science and imagery through our library of e-books.

Today I learned that NASA has a collection of free ebooks that can be downloaded as pdfs or ebub format.

The science books even include a children’s section with fun activites and coloring books!

A reminder that this gif and a similar one for the transit method are on Wikimedia Commons for anyone to use.

I'm actually putting together a teaching dossier at the moment and I'd love to hear from people if you've used any of my gifs for teaching, outreach, or science stuff!

A collection of library books about Jane Goodall

A nice display at the Pratt Library today in honor of Jane Goodall

Black dog lying in the middle of a river. His tail is curved up. There are rocks in the foreground and trees in the background. The furthest back trees are illuminated by sun light that also glints off the river.

For National Black Dog Day, Tycho did his best alligator impression.

Ah answered!

Baltimore harbor near Fells Point. The water is a greenish tint to it but also mostly transparent. There is a turtle swimming in the foreground, empty docks to the right, and a number of sail boats and speed boats to the left. Brick row houses can be seen behind them with the ports further in the distance.

A medium sized turtle swimming in the water. The water is transparent with green tint so that the turtle is fully visible. It is sticking up its head while paddling with its feet.

Is this color good for the harbor? I’m not sure I’ve seen it so clear or this green.

📢 I'm teaching a Geographic Software Design course this semester at the University of Tennessee! 🎉 All course materials will be freely available online, with new video lectures dropping three times a week.

It is 21 F and I just saw two people biking down Boston St in Baltimore!

My bigger concern wasn’t the weather (as people bike in all weather), it was that it is dark out and Boston St is a very busy street (they both had lights).

Black dog in a blue coat stepping onto a frozen stream in the woods. The trees are bare of leaves and there’s snow on the ground.

Here’s a handsome dog enjoying the snow for your timeline.

An owl sitting on a branch with many other branches around it. It is grey with brown stripes. Jupiter can be seen behind it in the blue grey sky.

Just an owl hanging out in Baltimore on a Saturday night

Congratulations to ESA and the Gaia team members! The survey is a great example of what can be done with open data with so much amazing science and so much still to be done!

For undergraduates or graduate students at #aas245, NASA summer internships are open!

There is a wide range of internships available including those doing research in different field or working in policy, communications, engineering, and more!
