Earth day is tomorrow. So learn this today ⬇️ Most hikers don’t think they litter, but this is one of the most common ways it happens on trails: - Orange peels - Banana peels - Pistachio shells They’re “natural”… so people assume they’re harmless. They’re not. On a trail (not a compost bin), citrus peels can take 6 months to 2 years to break down. That means what you toss today could still be there months later. What else does litter do? Food scraps attract wildlife, and wildlife can start to associate trails with human food. This is how trails slowly get impacted, without people realizing they did anything wrong. Leave No Trace isn’t just about being the person who picks up trash, it’s about being the person who never creates it in the first place. If it didn’t grow there, it doesn’t belong there. Send this to someone who still thinks orange peels are “fine.” And follow for more hiking tips and etiquette. #LeaveNoTrace #HikingTips #EarthDay

That’s us! As the sun rises over the Philippines, our country is now visible in the live camera feed from the II Orion spacecraft! Say hello to the crew!

We can also see the massive landmass of Australia, Severe Typhoon , which is moving towards Guam, and the other two tropical cyclones in the Southern Pacific Ocean.

The first people the Artemis II crew will encounter upon returning to Earth will be U.S. Navy sailors.

The recovery dive medical team, Lt. Cmdr. Jesse Wang, Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Laddy Aldridge, Chief Hospital Corpsman Vlad Link, and Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Steve Kapala, will be responsible for opening the Orion capsule after splashdown. They will conduct initial medical checks on the astronauts and assist them in exiting the spacecraft safely and smoothly.

Each team member is assigned to provide one-on-one support to Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman, and Victor Glover. Preparing for this role has taken years of coordinated training, ensuring they are ready to serve as the first medical responders inside the capsule.

The Artemis Program takes the centerstage today as NASA's goal of returning humans to the Moon after more than 50 years. But, what's really with the name Artemis?

In Greek mythology, Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo and the goddess of the Moon, hunting, and nature.

Often portrayed as independent and protective, Artemis symbolizes qualities that align with NASA’s goals for sustainable exploration. While the Apollo program explored near the Moon’s equator, the Artemis program aims to reach the south pole, studying shadowed craters and new terrain.

Her association with renewal and protection reflects NASA’s commitment to long-term exploration, international collaboration, and landing the first woman on the Moon.
