Scenes from Mountain View High School in the 1980s. This was Mountain View in 1988. Every kid you remember from high school is in this video. They were always there. Still there now, and somehow they'll still be there forty years from today.

1 of 9: Welcome to Great America A Retro Bay Area Series: The Early Days of Great America in the late 1970s. 🎡🎠🎢🎟️ In 1976, the Marriott Corporation opened Great America in Santa Clara. It represented the state of the art in theme park design and attractions at the time. It was designed and built with a strong commitment to authentic theming, reflected in the rides, entertainment, food, merchandise, and more. The goal was to create a top-quality experience for families to enjoy together. If you were a kid when it opened, you eventually took your own kids there. If you can, take your grandkids before it’s gone forever. source footage 🎥: Bryan Walker

The Tokyo Maritime Self-Defense Force Band's "Space Battleship Yamato" performance is epic! 🎶 Their passionate rendition of the iconic anime theme is truly captivating. ✨

Oregon head football coach, Dan Lanning, on Ducks super fan Charlie Kirk: “I hurt for his wife, Erika, and their kids. That sort of evil should never exist in our country. That’s what it is, evil.” “Life matters, and I think we’ve lost sight of that.” “If you disagree with me, if you hate me, if you don’t like me, just know this: I love you. I absolutely love you, and life matters.” “Charlie shouldn’t have experienced that; his family shouldn’t have experienced that; there’s no way that evil should exist in this world.” Thank you, Dan, for standing up for what’s right. Charlie, your legacy will live on forever.

Echoes of Bluemars (@BluemarsEchoes) on X

In attempts to reestablish communication with the lost Bluemars fleet, an echo of past transmissions was found. These echoes give us a glimpse into the past.

East Bay friends and punk rock fans, I’m doing FOH at this show in the ‘Cord on Saturday. I’ve heard half of these bands and love the sound. Really stoked to reinforce sound at this local music throwdown. Come by and support live music!

You can see which spacecraft are in contact with the DSN at any moment at eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/ Right now, it's exchanging data with several Mars spacecraft, the #JunoMission at Jupiter, and others.

NASA Webb Telescope
@NASAWebb15 Aug 2023
Hello from the other side! 📡 How does data get to and from Webb, a million miles away? The Deep Space Network (DSN) has antennae in California, Australia, and Madrid, allowing us to talk to Webb round the clock! go.nasa.gov/45v970G
The Webb telescope is depicted by an artist as it might look in space. Webb has a kite-shaped sunshield and a large golden mirror made of hexagons. Three long struts that make a tripod, meet out in front of the mirror, where they support a smaller circular secondary mirror. A black nose cone is in the center of the mirror. This is where light enters the instruments, which sit behind the mirror. The mirror and top of the sunshield are shown in darkness, which is how they are in space. The mirror reflects part of the secondary mirror tripod. Behind Webb is the Milky Way galaxy. Bands of stars run from left to right behind it, with the brightest stars to the left. Below Webb, left of center is a galaxy. Above Webb to the right are more stars.

This is the 70 meter antenna at Goldstone, California. The dish is enormous, taking up most of the image. The dish, which is white with lines running through it is turned up to the sky. It has a white base that attaches it to the ground. Four people stand to the left giving a sense of scale. Behind it are low mountains and a mostly cloudy sky.
