On this day in 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. She orbited Earth 48 times—solo. Her mission became a milestone in both space history and gender equality in STEM. 🌍 💫 🚀 If you were in her space shoes, what’s the first thing you’d do in zero gravity? 🤔

15 February 1830: #MaryAnning tells her friend William Buckland that she is still seeking a buyer for a strange new fossil fish she had found, having declined an offer of £30 from Bristol Institution. She has now sent a drawing to Cuvier in Paris, but she'd prefer the fossil to stay in England.
