Japan constructed a 246-mile tsunami wall and planted 9 million trees as part of its efforts to combat climate-related disasters.

OK. It is NOT my birthday! But, while we were shooting Ep 4 of #StarfleetAcademy (which dropped this week) in OCT 2024, this nice, kind thing happened and no unkind responses here can spoil it. So please save your energy and don't try! 🖖🖖🏽🖖🏿

“The earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth—If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.” ~ Chief Seattle (1786-1866)

Teachers like him make the students excited to come to school and grow a love for learning.

The project, called ‘Kitap Okuma Salonu’, started in 2018 with just over 6,000 books. With local donations, it has now grown to more than 40,000 books and even runs mobile book services for schools and prisons.

Garbage collectors in Turkey created a public library using thousands of discarded books they rescued from the trash.

The Human Adventure is Just Beginning. Celebrating Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which premiered in theatres on December 7, 1979. The film had its flaws, but it was a major triumph, for Gene Roddenberry, for the production team, and most of all, for the fans,.

Maryna Viazovska, a mathematician from Kyiv, was awarded the Fields Medal in 2022—one of the most prestigious honors in mathematics—for solving the problem of sphere packing in eight-dimensional space. Notably, before her breakthrough, the problem had only been solved in three dimensions, and that solution spanned 300 pages. Viazovska’s proof, in contrast, was just 23 pages long and stood out for its remarkable elegance. She also holds the distinction of being only the second woman ever to receive the Fields Medal.

Voyager 1 is the loneliest pioneer humanity has ever launched, and it is still flying perfectly, forty-eight years later, on a course set in 1977 that has never needed a single correction.Imagine that: on September 5, 1977, a 825-kilogram golden spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral. Engineers gave it one decisive push with gravity assists from Jupiter and Saturn, then essentially said, “Go. We’ll never touch you again.” And it listened. For thirty-seven straight years (until the first tiny trim in 2017, only to align the antenna), Voyager 1 hurtled through space without a single thruster firing to fix its path. Not one. That’s like throwing a paper airplane from New York and having it glide untouched through a window in Paris, four decades later.Right now, in December 2025, Voyager 1 is 163 times farther from the Sun than Earth is, more than 24.4 billion kilometers away, the farthest human-made object in history. It crossed the heliopause (the Sun’s protective bubble) in 2012 and is now sailing through true interstellar space, where the wind between the stars is colder than anything we can create on Earth. Yet its trajectory is still so impeccable that the flight team jokes the spacecraft could hit a cosmic bullseye drawn half a century ago.It has already given us the pale blue dot photo, the first portraits of Jupiter’s raging storms and Saturn’s rings in impossible detail, and the discovery that moons like Io and Titan are worlds stranger than fiction. Now, with its power fading to barely four watts (less than a refrigerator lightbulb), it still whispers data back across the void on a 23-watt signal that takes 22 hours and 55 minutes to reach us, one-way.Voyager 1 isn’t just a probe. It’s a message in a bottle flung toward the galaxy, carrying the sounds of Earth (whales, Chuck Berry, and a baby’s cry) on its golden record. And it’s still flying straight, as if to prove that human foresight, once aimed true, can outrun time itself.Out there in the dark, a tiny golden speck keeps its ancient promise: keep going, perfectly, forever.

Happy birthday today to Michael Dorn, who played Worf on #StarTrekTNG, #StarTrekDS9, and #StarTrekPicard, plus 4 #StarTrek films. He also played his own ancestor in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and directed 3 episodes of DS9 and one Enterprise.

This rescue kitten was abused by her previous owners, but her new foster mom knows exactly how to gain her trust.. 🥺

Faith of the heart intensifies. Scott Bakula on #stlv for first time since 2016. "It's so good to back." Thanks audience for their fandom

This man takes some of the most beautiful astrophotography shots I've seen (not that I'm an expert). He's humble, passionate, and creative. He lives through his heart not him mind.

Today I’m getting ready to use the largest telescope I’ve ever used, but this isn’t where people should start. I put together a whole guide on how to learn to do this. If you join my email list I’ll give it to you. Sign up here: cosmicbackground.io/pages/ne…

When I started I lived in a light polluted city. I spent long nights working to get a faint glimpse of something. I did this for a long time before ever sharing an astrophoto. The only thing special about me is I loved this enough to keep doing it when I was bad at it.
