I have a weak spot for flowers visible from space. Here are some recent ones I found:
Purple jacaranda trees in Pretoria, South Africa
Pink tajibo trees in eastern Bolivia
Tulips (and probably other flowers too) near Hillegom, The Netherlands
American marine biologist, conservationist, and writer Rachel Carson died #OTD in 1964.
She is best known for her groundbreaking book "Silent Spring," published in 1962, which brought attention to the environmental impact of pesticides, particularly DDT, and sparked a global environmental movement. The book is often credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement and the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Posted without comment from a recently published paleobiology paper.

Since it’s very convenient to have a link to a bigger map, I created a userscript that adds a link to #OpenStreetMap results to Google results.
