The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership.

#OnThisDay in 1927, Virginia Norwood was born. A physicist and mathematician, she invented the first multispectral scanner to obtain images of the Earth from space. The Landsat 1 satellite and its successors have been scanning the planet thanks to the work of the "mother of Landsat."

The #PalisadeFire in California, USA, seen from ignition yesterday until sunrise today. Seen by NOAA's GOES-18 weather sat, a vital tool for monitoring these fires.

Really dreadful situation - and several other fires pop up as well. Firefighters have a hard task.

A focused national purpose achieved a lot in the 1960s. Today's Artemis timeline shifts, April 2026 for Artemis II's crewed lunar flyby and mid-2027 for Artemis III's Moon landing.

Public understanding and support of lunar return has never been more vital.
