Fingers crossed for parachutes deploying and payload retrieval for the students of Spring-Ford High School and sharing science with the region.
Space balloon disintegrated as we approached 90,000 feet, plummeting back right now. Fingers crossed the parachutes deploy! We did not make it over 100,000 feet but did make it to the edge of space with a black sky for sure! Looking forward to payload box recovery!

After growing edge of space veggies and herbs in recent years, I am excited about the the learning outcomes for the today's edge-of-space science launch for @dolostone's Pennsylvania high schoolers whose experiments are among experiments lifting from a balloon in Colorado!
Our Hydrogen space balloon is labeled 347 & launches from CO today at 10am East Coast time. #stem You can track it's elevation & speed on the website below. Hopefully it makes it to over 100,000 ft where the sky is black & there is almost no pressure. https://t.co/iGC6Bg5aQL

Grateful to speak for a third time to @USDOC employees about sustainable environmental practices. We @VCEMG master gardeners enjoy marrying our professional skills with science-based methods to make research relatable and build better backyard #biodiversity.

More than a dozen fireflies twinkled over our backyard on April 15 — six weeks earlier than we have ever seen them. @capitalweather, if lightning bugs are the summer predictor that @PunxsutawneyPhil is to spring, what does this say about coming months?

Northern Virginia sees stars with the @fairfaxparks and @AnalemmaSociety partnership at Observatory Park. 2023's attendance is nearly half of 2022's attendance, which doubled previous years. University astronomy students hone research skills, too.

This is what you get when you ask the sports guy to come in to cover a blizzard in the morning show.

My worlds collided while writing this story. Music, education, science, and the value of supporting local media @GFConnection and @ConnectionNewspapers. Looking forward to seeing Kat perform with Queen’s @DrBrianMay one day. https://t.co/Gsc3xF4G1z

Never will I forget seeing the original “Stars and Stripes Forever” written in Sousa’s hand and the first Haynes C piccolo designed for that grandioso and the sight generating wet happy tears just before my job interview at the @librarycongress. ❤️🎵 This collection is amazing!
The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800. It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute. @lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are “Good as hell.”😉

And now it's officially a scrub. NASA unable to launch SLS today as part of its Artemis program. Backup dates are Monday or Tuesday, but it's not clear that NASA will go for it or to wait to fix the hydrogen leak.

Water spout off Daytona Beach this afternoon. Hoping #Artemis launch has clear weather on Monday. @wesh #weather #daytona #waterspout

This tweet made my week. A @washpost sports reporter calls a colleague on grammar usage. @APStylebook to the rescue.
Sam, apparently, doesn't know when to use "I" and "me." (The subject here, Sam, is "You," right?") I'll lecture him later. But join us in five minutes.

We’re about to witness a supernova of science. @POTUS releases one of the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope at 5:30 ET at https://t.co/mVzy7sKqVi.
@nasa Images, data and will ignite imagination, curiosity and learning. #JWST

We all grow when we share skills and enthusiasm. Today, I shared sustainable gardening tips with 500+ @CommerceGov employees during a Veggie Gardening 101 webinar. Thanks for inviting @VCEMG #Fairfax #mastergardeners, sharing resources and best practices! #planthappiness

This @NASAJPL Solar System Ambassador volunteering with @AnalemmaSociety was caught engaging young minds and encouraging curiosity. Grateful to share equinox lessons and info about my favorite star — our sun — with the community.

Loved that within a few hours of #JWST’s locking the last mirror in place, I assisted @analemma and @fairfaxparks to share science with scouts earning astronomy badges. Now we wait for deep space images! Meantime, we explore our solar system and neighboring galaxies. #SSA
#NASAWebb is fully deployed! 🎉 With the successful deployment & latching of our last mirror wing, that's: 50 major deployments, complete. 178 pins, released. 20+ years of work, realized. Next to #UnfoldTheUniverse: traveling out to our orbital destination of Lagrange point 2!

Communication. Team work. Creating solutions. Witnessed @FedEx splitting loads to complete deliveries earlier — and before the next snow dump on Virginia and I-95. #goodjob #SafetyFirst
