If the weather cooperates, @NASA will launch astro

If the weather cooperates, @NASA will launch astronauts @astro.behnken and @astro.doug into orbit from #KennedySpaceCenter's historic Launch #Pad39A on Wednesday, May 27th at 4:33pm EDT. A partnership with @SpaceX, the #CrewDragon #dm2 mission is the first crewed launch from American soil since 2011. 🚀
In anticipation, I’ve featured a selection of #rocket-themed videos in TKSST.com’s weekend newsletter. Link in bio. 📸: @launchphoto via @astro.doug / @SpaceX.

When I saw the first #snail on a branch in the dry

When I saw the first #snail on a branch in the dry foothills of #LosAngeles, I felt bad that it had been caught in the sun. 🐌☀️ But then I noticed just how many #snails there were in the same predicament. What was going on?! 👩🏻‍💻
Quick googling didn’t reveal much but I did run into a Sept 2019 #researchpaper titled “Snails in the sun: Strategies of terrestrial #gastropods to cope with hot and dry conditions” by Mona Schweizer, Rita Triebskorn, and Heinz‐R. Köhler (photo 4).
📖
It explains that “although, at first glance, climbing sun‐exposed objects seems to be rather disadvantageous for the snails,” studies have shown that it’s cooler up high than it is on the soil surface. 🌬🐌 😲
I’d never seen this before. Have you seen it where you live? #nature #science #mollusk #biology #ecology #desert #heat #temperature

Enjoying the #birdsong where we live in #California. Anyone recognize that bird or who (besides the 🐝🐝) are creating the audio?
🎶
Last week I also posted a wonderful British Birdsong Montage #video on TKSST.com, annotated with labels and illustrations of each bird. It’s a calming and educational ten-minute offering from @BBCEarth. Link in bio. 🐦 #nature #birds #birding #birdvideo

Thinking a lot about gathering around an abundant table with our family and friends these days. 🌸 These are just a few scenes from #StoryofFlowers 2 (link in bio for the entire short), directed by Tokyo-based botanical artist @azumamakoto, illustrated by @katiekatiescott and animated by @jamespaulley. 💐
“Delve into the relationship between #flowers and humans: the way we involve flowers in our lives through various cultures and practices…” 🌺
Story of Flowers 2 is the 2nd film in this botanical #animation series, a sequel to Story of Flowers (2017) which TKSST.com featured just a few months ago. “It is our belief,” Makoto writes, “that flowers can encourage and heal, silently helping us move forward.” 🌻
