WHO is excited for Superb Owl weekend? 🦉 These owls from the Library's Japanese prints and drawings collection don't seem that thrilled, actually, although it's sure to be a hoot. They're enthusiastic about Bad Bunny, but they may not understand that he's a man, not a delicious small mammal.

When Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made history by reaching the summit, a courier named Ten Tsewang Sherpa ran 200 miles to Kathmandu to deliver the news. He died a few weeks later. His story has never been told—until now.

60 years ago, Luna 9 gave us our very first images from the lunar surface. The pictures dropped into a debate about the nature of the Moon, and scientists rushed to interpret them. #HistSTM 🗃️ #moon daily.jstor.org/the-first-lu...

Astronomers in the 19th c. hoped that photography would help mechanize observation, but judgement still crept into their processes. Engraving and printing astronomical images required collaboration--and aesthetic choices. #histSTM 🗃️ #astronomy daily.jstor.org/the-hidden-a...

I hadn’t really recognized how hard it is to get people to review books until I published mine, or how hard it is to find peer-reviewers, until worked in publishing. It’s truly an under-appreciated labor.
