While researching for my Master's Thesis I came across this photo in 2016 of the Mittivakkat Glacier on Ammassalik Island, SE Greenland. On my trip there in 2022 I happened to take a photo in almost the same spot... #greenland #tasiilaq #eastgreenland #climatechange #Arctic

First look at Greenland’s “baby” glaciers with ICESat-2! 🛰️ Despite covering just ~4% of Greenland’s ice area, they are now responsible ~11% of Greenland’s total ice loss. New study in @theAGU 👇 article: doi.org/10.1029/2022GL098915 news: eng.geus.dk/about/news/news-…

Can you name this glacier? In cooperation with @ETHBibliothek, we are trying to identify these places. Retweet and/or ask your grandparents and let us know what you think! Don't know this one? Stay tuned, more to come! 😃

Welcome to Arp 147, an interacting galaxy pair! The left-most galaxy in this #HubbleClassic image appears nearly edge-on to our line of sight and features a smooth ring of starlight. The right-most galaxy has a clumpy, blue ring of intense star formation: go.nasa.gov/3ELZM8A
