While I was out with the camera yesterday the moon was out and I thought "I wonder if…".

Turns out you can. I need to try this at night some time.

Forty years ago, today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in mid air after being launched, killing all 7 crew members; one was a school teacher. It was a sad day for space travel & history.

The Challenger shuttle disaster that killed 7 crew members was 40 years ago. What happened and how they're being remembered.
The diverse 7-member crew included a teacher who was going to teach lessons from space.

Mother nature is a raver.
Marram grass leaf. Light micrograph of a cross section through a closed (unravelled) leaf of Marram grass, Ammophila arenaria. The deeply grooved leaf is thrown into folds. The folds conserve water and withstand salt, and prevent excessive evaporation. Round vascular bundles are visible inside each fold, serving to transport food and water through the leaf. They look like smiley faces. The large "eyes" are the xylem, which transport water. The bright blue "mouths" are the phloem, which transport sugars produced during photosynthesis. The spiky, curved structure is a natural adaptation to drought conditions, helping the leaf to roll up and conserve water. Spines on the surface discourage animals from eating the leaf. Marram grass is important in coastal ecology, since it is one of the commonest grass species in Britain to stabilize sand dunes.
