This Sheet Pan Lasagna is giving “crispy edges or nothing” energy. Cheesy, saucy, golden, and baked flatter than my patience on a Monday — and somehow even BETTER than the classic. Every slice is a perfect corner piece, and should be illegal in the best way.

A vibrant official NASA portrait of astronaut Laurel Clark, mission specialist on STS-107 (Space Shuttle Columbia), taken before her 2003 flight. She is shown in a three-quarter view, smiling warmly at the camera with an open, confident expression. She has shoulder-length curly brown hair and fair skin. She wears the bright orange NASA launch-and-entry suit (ACES), complete with the American flag patch on her left shoulder, NASA insignia on the chest, her name tag "LAUREL CLARK" with gold wings above it, and the STS-107 mission patch on the left chest. She rests her right arm/hand on her black-and-white NASA helmet. The helmet's reflective visor shows faint reflections of lights and surroundings. Behind her are two large vertical flags: the U.S. flag on the left with stars and stripes visible, and a dark blue NASA banner with partial text "AND SPACE A" (likely "National Aeronautics and Space Administration") on the right. The background is softly lit with a gradient of warm tones, emphasizing her poised and approachable demeanor as a physician, naval officer, and space explorer who tragically perished in the Columbia disaster. The overall composition conveys professionalism, pride, and dedication to space exploration.

US Navy Captain Dr. Laurel Clark tragically died during her first space mission (Space Shuttle Columbia). She was a mission specialist on STS-107, a 16-day dedicated science mission, conducting experiments focusing on bioscience & gardening in space. She was born #OTD in 1961.

A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The photographer's signature, "Nachtwey 1932," appears in the lower right corner in a flowing script. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology
