Evonne Goolagong Cawley (b. #OTD in 1951) broke systemic barriers as one of the most prominent #Indigenous Australian athletes in history. #tennis

+ 14 Grand Slam titles (1971-1980)
+ World No. 1 ranking, 1976
+ First mother to win Wimbledon in the Open Era, 1980

#WomenInSport
Side-by-side photographs of Australian tennis trailblazer Evonne Goolagong Cawley (born July 31, 1951), celebrated as a 14-time Grand Slam champion and a historic Wiradjuri icon. On the left, a close-up shot captures her head and shoulders as she glances warmly toward the camera with a joyful, toothy smile. Her curly, dark brown hair frames her face against a blurred green tennis court background. She holds a vintage wooden tennis racket resting near her left shoulder. On the right, an action shot captures her dynamic athletic poise mid-match on a lush grass court. Leaning forward into a powerful stroke, her focused expression contrasts with the fluid grace of her movement. She wears a classic sleeveless white Fila tennis uniform detailed with a thin red or navy trim along the neckline and a matching layered skort. The composition blends an intimate glimpse of her charismatic personality with her legendary on-court agility.

#WonderfulBirdWednesday

Right in the middle of rain, the photo was captured the split second a droplet of water landed on the #Robins head like a crown! 👑

A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!

This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years. 🧪🔭
