As We Aim To Study The Moon, We Learn More About The Earth
“Earthrise” retains the feelings when astronauts first sighted Earth rising above the moon’s curvature. The first color photograph of “Earthrise” was taken Christmas Eve 1968 from aboard Apollo 8. A consequent event was the first “Earth Day” on April 22, 1970. The Los Alamos Nature Center opened its doors on April 22, 2015. My theme that day in the Los Alamos Daily Post explored ways these events are likely related.
This April, four current astronauts made an Read More

Daily Postcard: Antler Shed At Valles Caldera
Daily Postcard: An antler shed in a montane grassland viewed Friday at Valles Caldera National Preserve. Every winter, reduced daylight causes testosterone levels in male deer and elk to drop, eventually leading to the shedding of their antlers. When spring arrives, it turns into a multi-species scavenger hunt. Shed antlers are a rich source of nutrients for wildlife that find them on forest or valley floors. Because they are such an important supplement to the diets of wildlife in this high-elevation ecosystem, shed collecting is not permitted within Valles Caldera. Next time you spot a Read More

TERESA LYNN BURROWS Jan. 19, 1956 – April 21, 2026
