☀️🌑 An annual solar eclipse will occur today across the Americas, reaching a peak in Central America. The shadow of the moon is shown in this animation. Our region will experience a roughly 25% reduction in light from the sun, peaking around 1:20 PM.

Forty years ago today, Sally Ride launched into history as the first U.S. woman to go to space. An astronaut, physicist, and educator, she inspired generations of women and girls to pursue careers in science and technology. go.nasa.gov/3NzVmHU

#OTD Exactly 40 years ago, on June 18, 1983, Sally Ride blasted off on shuttle Challenger to become 1st American woman in space. Here she heads to the launch pad with STS-7 Commander Robert Crippen and crewmates Norm Thagard, John Fabian & Frederick Hauck. go.ucsd.edu/3G70Bej

I'm out to sea during #NationalOceanMonth, blogging about my experiences on NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson. My posts start with background info, then build up to our expedition work. First up is a post on the missions of @NOAA, @NOAAFisheries, and HMS Challenger noaateacheratsea.blog/2023/06/12/lau…

We've been talking about El Niño in the future tense a lot these last several months, but it's time to talk about it in the present! El Niño is here. Learn more at the ENSO Blog about why forecasters came to this conclusion. climate.gov/news-features/…

.@NOAA's #GOESEast continues to track thick #smoke and hazy skies across the northeastern U.S. this morning. #AirQuality Alerts are up for much of the Northeast and New England due to the fine particulates in the air created by the Canadian #wildfires. weather.gov

An update on the advancing smoke across the area. The leading edge of the lower visibilities has dropped down eastern Berks and Montgomery counties of PA and then east towards Trenton NJ and towards Monmouth County NJ.


Teachable moment for nearly every area of Pennsylvania. Pollution does not respect artificial political boundaries.

The haze and smoke is getting to the Mount Holly office.
