The winding tour goes on through 13 more places around the world where specially named winds blow across land, water, mountains, cities, deserts, and snowy expanses. Short lines of poetry flow down picture book pages to terse explanations. Geographic locations of the listed winds are shown as numbers on a circular globe, and there’s a glossary and short bibliography of related children’s books.

The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science has been awarded reaccreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), an industry-wide “gold standard” that a small fraction of museums across the country have received. Accreditation through AAM offers high profile, peer-based validation of a museum’s operations and impact. Just over 1,100 of the approximately 35,000 museums nationwide are accredited.

Pacific Science Center (PacSci) presents its new exhibit Pollinator Path to the public today. The exhibit encourages visitors to reflect on the intertwined and cyclical relationship between plants, pollinators, animals, and themselves. Pollination Path is important because it centers Indigenous stories that have been told in and outside of the Pacific Northwest," said Owen Oliver.

Researchers created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule at 134 nanokelvin, or just 134 billionths of a degree above absolute zero. Ultracold systems are crucial to understand quantum behavior because quantum mechanics, the rules governing subatomic particles, dominate at low temperatures. These setups also let scientists precisely control the energy of particles to create quantum simulations, which model other quantum systems with physics we don't fully understand.

Lasers work by making energetic particles vibrate, or "oscillate,' meaning the peaks and troughs of light waves they emit all line up. The fundamental physics behind laser technology have been known for more than a century; the theory was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917. But it would take nearly four decades to bring these theoretical ideas to life.

In 1919, two British scientists conducted an experiment intended to verify Albert Einstein’s controversial theory of general relativity. This physical theory proposed the universe is four-dimensional and that massive objects like the sun actually warp the very fabric of spacetime. In fact, Eddington realized that during a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks the sun’s light, allowing stars near the sun to be visible.
