#PrideInSTEM Day 13 👇 🧪

It's Fossil Friday! Behold the dazzling colors of an iridescent ammonite. A relative of today’s squids, this ammonite lived some 80 mil years ago near what is now Alberta, Canada. This fossil’s spectacular coloration is the result of millions of years of high temperatures & pressures.

Captured June 12, 2007, by the Cassini spacecraft: Rainbow on the Rings

The opposition effect, a brightness surge that is visible on Saturn's rings when the sun is directly behind the spacecraft, is captured here as a colorful halo of light moving across Saturn's sunlit rings.

The opposition effect, a brightness surge that is visible on Saturn's rings when the sun is directly behind the spacecraft, is captured here as a colorful halo of light moving across Saturn's sunlit rings. The rainbow of color seen here is actually an artifact and a by-product of the spot's movement and the way the color image was produced. Cassini acquires color images by taking sequential exposures using red, green and blue spectral filters, which are then composited together to form a color view. The bright patch traveled across the rings between exposures taken for this view, creating a series of three colorful spots showing its position at three separate moments. This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 9 degrees below the ringplane. The images in this view were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on June 12, 2007, at a distance of approximately 523,000 kilometers (325,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 31 kilometers (19 miles) per pixel. The Cassini-Huygens mission was a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, managed the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute Image Number: PIA08393 Date: June 12, 2007

Appreciating this intersection between botany and pride in Palm Springs--pride for prickly plant people, perhaps? That would fit me.
