Who sits at the edge of their seats in atmosphere and gases as they await the boom? #astrocamp #hydrogenballoons #safescience

Part of camp is about facing your fears, by taking them head on! Whose afraid of heights but still went on the sky coaster?

If you think of the whole night sky as one huge puzzle, then each puzzle piece (or group of stars) could be called a constellation. Try Charlotte's tasty project to learn about the stars in your favorite constellation, or make up your own!

Pre-zipline vibes! Hope you have a great day like this one ~ wherever you are!

Hubble Telescope found this massive odd star. It was so weird they nicknamed it Nasty 1 (a play on its catalog name NaSt1) . The brightness you see is a pancake-disk of gas encircling the star, when they were expecting something totally different! : NASA

Manzanitas, pine trees, and campers. Some of our favorite day hike things!

You can extract DNA... from a BANANA?! Yes, you can folks. And Emily is going to show you how! Try this DIY science experiment at home!

Within the constellation Cygnus, you'll find this wispy nebula. And to think, to capture this image we had to create a telescope that can see in ultraviolet, see thousands of light-years away, oh yeah and then shoot the telescope into space! : NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer.

Yeah, I remember my first time in our E&M class too. Have you played with a magnet and ferrofluid before?

Oh, so you thought Earth was the only planets with auroras? NOPE! Jupiter’s northern lights beats ours any day of the week. But like Earth, Jupiter’s are caused by solar wind, by high-energy particles entering the atmosphere and colliding with atoms of gas. : NASA

We hope your Saturday is worth giving it a !

Anybody live where creosote grows? Digi, whose in Phoenix now, made tea out of this plant! Would you try it?

Any guesses when this picture was taken? 1965. This is the Gemini-4 mission, and this is the first American astronaut to walk in space, Edward White. Wow! : NASA
