NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will cast their ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election from space. The two astronauts are participating in early voting because they are in orbit on the International Space Station more than 200 miles above the nearest polling place. “It’s a very important duty that we have as citizens, and I’m looking forward to being able to vote from space, which is pretty cool,” said Williamsduring a news conference.
Generation Alpha, children born from 2010 onwards, are growing up in a world where social media is deeply woven into daily life. This influence is having a negative effect on their educational experiences.
One issue is the distraction social media causes in school. Constant notifications and the habit of scrolling through feeds lead to shorter attention spans and not comprehending any form of content, leaving their academic performance to spiral.

Smoke billows from a smokestack. Train tracks vibrate. A beam of light comes into view as a train, cars and all, rounds the corner. As it’s coming straight towards you, a bellowing shriek expels from the whistle, and the brass bell clangs. But then, it takes a sharp turn and disappears around a baby barrel cactus which looms over the passing cars like a towering saguaro. The train is as long as your arm and you could probably pick the steam engine up right off the tracks. This train and other miniature wonders are the newest exhibits at the Tucson Botanical Gardens.

In Venice, Italy it was super cool to be able to ride in a gondola and see water all around. I’m from Arizona so it was such a different environment that I’m use to and it’s crazy to think that Venice is slowly sinking.
