Hu Barnes spent nearly four decades as a faculty member at Penn State, shaping generations of students and driving geochemistry research. It's a career that almost didn't happen - until one professor shaped his own path. buff.ly/3iM5tN7

Pollen from the Asteraceae, daisy family, dates back to Cretaceous Antartica, but the first plant fossil is from the Eocene of Argentina. With 23,000 species, Asteraceae is influential in the diversification of bees, wasps and hummingbirds, but not his rabbit-like Pachyrukhos.

Through the burning of fossil fuels, humans have released more carbon into the atmosphere than is contained in all of the plants currently living on Earth.
More than half of this has occurred since 1990.
We are transforming the Earth and the atmosphere on a truly massive scale.

My finished shot from this morning's total lunar eclipse. This image was captured by using two telescopes, one to capture intricate detail on the lunar surface, and one to capture the rich tones cast by Earth's shadow across the disc. Go ahead, zoom in on it!
