Second all of these video choices! The “Future of” series of short docs is terrific. Highly recommend “Future of Water” and “Future of Cities”. Great for several subject topics. 💛 🎥

Debris from Halley’s Comet lights up the sky with the Orionid meteor shower! 🌌🧪
This meteor shower will be active from Sept. 26 to Nov. 22, and will peak on October 21. These are actually fragments from Halley’s Comet, which orbits the Sun every 76 years.

Salt marshes are powerful protectors—buffering coastlines from storms, supporting fisheries like lobster and scallops, and locking away carbon. But what happens in these vital ecosystems during the winter months?

Did NASA just discover the best evidence yet of ancient life on Mars? 👽🪐🧪
NASA’s Perseverance rover recently discovered colorful mineral deposits on the Bright Angel formation in Jezero Crater, features that scientists think could be biosignatures, or fossil-like traces of ancient microbes.

A Blood Moon is coming on September 7, and over 6.2 billion people will be able to see it! 🌕🧪
This total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into Earth’s darkest shadow, causing it to glow red from sunlight refracted through our atmosphere.

The Delta Aquarids, known for their fast, faint yellow streaks, are active from July 18 to August 12, peaking overnight July 28 to 29 with ideal dark-sky conditions thanks to a crescent moon. 🧪
