These tiny fairy shrimp inhabit a "vernal pool", a body of water that springs to life with the winter rains and dries up in summer. You can visit these pools now, at #JepsonPrairie. Check out @BayNature's events calendar for details: ow.ly/50mj30jsYVb Photo: Doug Wirtz

What’s shaking on Mars? I’ll soon find out. Watch this 60-second video to see how I’ll study the seismic waves running around and through the Red Planet with my super-sensitive seismometer. go.nasa.gov/2DDHohO

Mars in a Minute: Are There Quakes on Mars?

Are there earthquakes on Mars?  Or rather, "marsquakes?"  And what could they teach us about the Red Planet? Find out more in this 60-second video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Are we alone in the universe? We now know of 1000’s of planets that orbit stars outside our solar system…but how many could support life? See how scientists from a variety of fields are working on this question: nasa.tumblr.com/post/1690741…

The crew of Apollo 8 took this photo, later dubbed "Earthrise," #Today in 1968. During a broadcast that night, pilot Jim Lovell said "The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth."
