There is no true safe haven from climate change.

On my previous post, I shared some organizations to donate to from Earthrise Studios regarding the #LAfires. I just want to add one more focused on pets & wildlife: Pasadena Humane Society

The heaviest burden of natural disasters, specifically wildfires, are on the unhoused, low-income, elderly, children, immunocompromised, and outdoor workers. Earthrise has several great resources on how to help marginalized communities and firefighters. #LAFires

Did you know the largest meteorite ever found in the U.S. is the Willamette Meteorite? Weighing over 34,000 pounds, it’s displayed at the @natural-history.bsky.social. Fun fact: it contains iridium, found in concentrations thousands of times higher than in Earth’s crust! #ScienceFacts

First visit to the American Museum of Natural History & I really enjoyed it. Thanks for having me @natural-history.bsky.social!

Here is a helpful image from Sky & Telescope. I recommend the SkyView app to help find Venus and Arcturus for reference.

Finally had clear enough skies to see Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) last night.

Having what I call the ‘Secondhand Overview Effect’ from this moment in the Everyday Astronaut & SpaceX stream of the #Starship this morning.

One day, I hope to experience the overview effect firsthand. 🚀

I had the incredible opportunity to see the Milky Way galaxy while in the Australian Outback. It was an experience I’ll never forget. I’ll continue to advocate for dark skies because everyone should experience the beauty of our night sky without light pollution.
