A wildlife refuge pond in Hawaii turns bright pink
A pond on Maui has turned so pink some people are causing it Barbie pink. Scientists say the Hawaiian island’s drought likely caused the bizarre but beautiful phenomenon. The Pacific Whale Foundation says drought closed the Kealia Pond’s connection to the sea allowing algae and bacteria to bloom, especially those who thrive in high salt content water. Biologists believe it’s those organisms that give the pond its pink glow, and while not toxic it’s so salty they don’t recommend drinking it. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.
NASA plans to open a special package today as it prepares for the return to the moon.
It’s an exciting event – 50 years in the making – the opening of one of the last sealed and pristine Moon rocks from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. NASA’s been saving the samples all these years because the agency figured science and technology would improve over the years and allow scientists to study the rocks in new ways and address new questions in the quest to put humans back on the Moon. NASA hopes to make that happen in 2025. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.
You can listen to NASA’s presentation — The Moon ROCKS! Apollo to Artemis — on Twitter Wednesday, March 9. It starts at 6:30PM ET on @TwitterSpaces.
