A photo from the Artemis II crew reminds us of the beauty of our planet.

“It’s just, it’s indescribable. No matter how long we look at this, our brains are not processing this image in front of us. … There’s no adjectives. I’m going to need to invent some new ones to describe what we are looking at out this window.”

–Reid Wiseman, astronaut aboard the Artemis II

Dear Reader,

Just when the world needed it most, the astronauts aboard the Artemis II delivered us a reminder of how vast and spectacular our universe is (and how vulnerable we all are on our fragile, floating home). There are no adjectives, astronaut Reid Wiseman told us. So when words fail, actions speak. This Earth Week, share love and care for your little corner of our planet and the people with whom you share it. (And savor this spectacular shot from the Artemis II crew, called Earthset.) 

Speechlessly,

Dot

Climate Quick Tip: Pull That Plug: Once your device is fully charged, unplug it from the outlet to reduce energy consumption and save your battery capacity over time. For multi-device charging, use a power bar and turn it off at night. Be mindful of keeping devices plugged into outlets. Unplug devices once they are finished charging to save energy and battery function.
