Remember the good 'ol days?
President Obama and Vice President Biden hug after Pres. Obama surprises VP Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction. #presidentobama #vicepresidentbiden #president #vicepresident #MedalOfFreedom #politics #WhiteHouse (at The White House)
We never hear about any good news anymore.
Video posted to Facebook by the City of Atlanta Police Department showing protesters at Saturday’s Women’s March giving officers hugs and high-fives has gone viral, racking up over 4.5 million views. “The appreciation and love is unbelievable,” the department said in the post. http://abcn.ws/2jHokGi
Can you name a few planets where it rains things? I was telling my little sister how it rains neon on Jupiter and she wants to know more.
Hello, we can find other types of rain not only on other planets, but also on moons and even brown dwarfs.
For example because of the high temperature some brown dwarfs can raining molten-iron.
and there is also rain of hydrocarbons (methane and liquid ethane) on Saturn’s moon Titan.
We can also mention diamond rain in Neptune, sulfuric acid rain on Venus and rain of glass on the exoplanet HD 189733b.
Below I will leave some links to that:

Absolutely Beautiful!!! I'd love to visit Yellowstone one day.
Milky Way over Yellowstone js
Absolutely amazing!!
The upper atmosphere of the Sun is dominated by plasma filled magnetic loops (coronal loops) whose temperature and pressure vary over a wide range. The appearance of coronal loops follows the emergence of magnetic flux, which is generated by dynamo processes inside the Sun. Emerging flux regions (EFRs) appear when magnetic flux bundles emerge from the solar interior through the photosphere and into the upper atmosphere (chromosphere and the corona). The characteristic feature of EFR is the Ω-shaped loops (created by the magnetic buoyancy/Parker instability), they appear as developing bipolar sunspots in magnetograms, and as arch filament systems in Hα. EFRs interact with pre-existing magnetic fields in the corona and produce small flares (plasma heating) and collimated plasma jets. The GIFs above show multiple energetic jets in three different wavelengths. The light has been colorized in red, green and blue, corresponding to three coronal temperature regimes ranging from ~0.8Mk to 2MK.Â

Very Interesting

That's beautiful & amazing!!
Shot along Tà Xùa nature reserve, Vietnam. I captured the full glory of the Milky Way Arch with a little green airglow.The true colors of the night sky are actually quite saturated, just hidden by the effects in our atmosphere. Honestly, it’s colorful but you can’t see with the naked eye.

Once every 53 days the Juno spacecraft swings close to Jupiter, speeding over its clouds. In just two hours, the spacecraft travels from a perch over Jupiter’s north pole through its closest approach (perijove), then passes over the south pole on its way back out. This sequence shows 14 enhanced-color images.
The first image on the left shows the entire half-lit globe of Jupiter, with the north pole approximately in the center. As the spacecraft gets closer to Jupiter, the horizon moves in and the range of visible latitudes shrinks. The third and fourth images in this sequence show the north polar region rotating away from our view while a band of wavy clouds at northern mid-latitudes comes into view.Â
By the fifth image of the sequence the band of turbulent clouds is nicely centered in the image. The seventh and eighth images were taken just before the spacecraft was at its closest point to Jupiter, near Jupiter’s equator. Even though these two pictures were taken just four minutes apart, the view is changing quickly.
As the spacecraft crossed into the southern hemisphere, the bright “south tropical zone” dominates the ninth, 10th and 11th images.Â
The white ovals in a feature nicknamed Jupiter’s “String of Pearls” are visible in the 12th and 13th images.Â

I love that it's pink instead of the usual black & white.
Amazing

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the historic Paris climate agreement. Thousand of miles away in Antarctica, the devastating effects of climate change were making themselves abundantly clear.
Scientists at Project MIDAS tracking the Larsen C ice shelf reported that a rift in the ice shelf grew by an additional 17 kilometers, or 11 miles, between May 25 and May 31.
It’s just the latest period of rapid growth for the rift, which previously grew by 10 kilometers in January and 18 kilometers in the second half of December 2016. Read more (6/2/17)
