Photographer Daniel Beltrá travels far and wide to document climate change.
Beltrá on why he does it:
The important part is to make people understand that we’re all in this together,” he says. “At the end of the day, we all still live on the same planet—we all drink the same water, breathe the same air. I don’t think there’s anybody that wouldn’t want to keep that healthy.

RIP Cassini.

The Chinese solar power company Panda Green Energy built a giant solar installation as an adorable PR stunt. The top photo in an artist’s rendering, but the real one can be seen in the bottom photo.
The Zhongshuge bookstore and library in Yangzhou, China has just been added to my bookstore/library bucket list.
Behold the On Parade Dinosaur Necklace from the ever-awesome Eclectic Eccentricity. It just arrived in my mailbox and it’s my new favorite thing.
Many thanks to those who made it to our first benefit! We look forward to more in the future, but for those who couldn’t make it, you can now pick up some of our items for the science march and beyond in our benchmarkNYC store.
The Einstein as Refugee design is by the immensely talented Molly Beck and the others are by me. All of the silkscreening is the wonderful work of Marcus Poston.
I'm helping throw a benefit party on Saturday! If you live in NYC come by and listen to some good music, get some gear for the science march, buy some art, and sip on libations. All for a good cause! Learn more about it on our Facebook event page.
Rounding out today’s mini-Martian-marathon: Tanya Harrison’s winning t-shirt design featuring both one of the Mars Rovers AND our favorite new meme. Available from @redbubble in a variety of sizes and styles.
Keep persisting and resisting, Startorialists!

The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 and if a bill recently introduced in the House of Representatives is passed it will be terminated on December 31, 2018, which makes this an especially good time to look back on the Documerica project.
About the project:
In the early '70s, just after the birth of EPA and the environmental movement, the agency initiated Project Documerica to record the state of the environment and efforts to improve it. By 1974, Documerica had produced more than 81,000 photographs by more than 100 photographers. The strongest 22,000-plus images were catalogued by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and made available to publications nationwide. About 15,000 of these images are now online.

Images from Evolution: A Visual Record by Robert Clark
About:
Evidence of evolution is everywhere. Through 200 revelatory images, award-winning photographer Robert Clark makes one of the most important foundations of science clear and exciting to everyone. Evolution: A Visual Record transports readers from the near-mystical (human ancestors) to the historic (the famous 'finches' Darwin collected on the Galapagos Islands that spurred his theory); the recently understood (the link between dinosaurs and modern birds) to the simply astonishing.
