If you grew up with The Brady Bunch and know who Witchy Poo is, you probably need an additional measles booster.

NASA science at risk 😕 #Space #StandUpForScience #ScienceSavesLives

The Hubble Space Telescope turns 35 this week. To celebrate, here's one of its most iconic photographs: the Pillars of Creation. These pillars are actually star-forming regions of gas and dust, and from top to bottom are more than FIVE LIGHTYEARS tall—farther than the distance to our nearest star.

Madmartigan has passed 😔 #RIPValKilmer
