What’s that? ✈️ 💨 Oh, it’s the U.S. Navy @blueangels zooming over campus before the Miramar Air Show this weekend. We definitely heard them! 📸: @erikjepsen

📸 Today is #WorldPhotographyDay, so we have to give a shoutout to @UCSanDiego photographer @ErikJepsen! His magic behind the lens helps us share both the beauty of our campus and the wonder of science with our audience. ▶️ Swipe to see a few of our favorite shots.

🌅 We love a good #Scrippshenge timelapse 😍 @UCSanDiego photographer @ErikJepsen was recently on the scene to capture the glorious event where the sunset aligns perfectly with #ScrippsPier. If you can't catch it tonight, try again in May 2026!

Scrippshenge lights up Scripps Pier @Scripps_Ocean just twice a year — a brief but breathtaking alignment of sun, sky, and sea. The magic might happen again tonight and tomorrow (Aug. 8–9), as long as the skies cooperate. 📸: @erikjepsen on Aug 7, 2025 #SanDiego #LaJolla

There are sunsets… and then there are Gliderport sunsets. 🌞🥲 Photos via: @erikjepsen on Instagram #UCSD #UCSanDiego #LaJolla #TorreyPinesGliderport

🌅 Stunning photos from @UCSanDiego photographer @erikjepsen. These shots were taken on Nov. 5 & 6, but you may be able to still see some bioluminescence tonight(no guarantees, though!). More from Scripps scientists on why we can't predict bioluminescence: https://t.co/KFIebgC6kJ

Summoning all the sea spirits! 🌊🎃 Happy Halloween Tritons! 🔱 📸: @erikjepsen #SanDiego #UCSanDiego #UCSD
