Beautiful pics of the Artemis II astronauts, captured when they arrived on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha, after returning from space (1/3) Photos by Petty Officer 2nd Class August Clawson, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group One www.dvidshub.net/image/960862... #Artemis 🧪🔭
NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026. John P. Murtha is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations supporting NASA’s Artemis II mission, retrieving the crew and spacecraft following their return to Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a flight around the moon in the Orion space craft, marking the first time humans journeyed to deep space in over 50 years.

Wear particles from tyres and brakes are far more prevalent and more damaging than you might think. My latest article for @forbes.com digs into some recent research on the impact of non-exhaust emissions 🧪⚛️ 👩🏼‍🔬 www.forbes.com/sites/laurie...

Most Of The Microplastics In Urban Air Come From Tires
Particles produced from brake and tire wear now represent the majority of emissions from road transport. As the EU cracks down on them, scientists urge others to follow.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

I don’t know if we have the technology yet, but I can imagine an artificial intelligence model that can listen to a song and then spit out an audio file of a parody version of that song. It will be called WeirdAIL.

This my friends is called engagement farming, and you're going to be seeing a lot of it. The best ways to clock it: 1. Posts about something that's already widely reported 2. Aims to leverage despair, rage and/or anxiety for an emotional response 3. Offers no actual insights or analysis Look out!
