Today's Smile Post: A Butterfly Travels More Than a Thousand Miles
A Sticker on a Butterfly’s Wings Travels More Than a Thousand Miles
March 13, 2020 | Mark Villanueva
Tracking butterflies takes a little adhesive and a lot of luck. Like confetti blown by the wind, in the thick forest of Central Mexico, during butterfly season, butterflies are everywhere. Their light flaps’ sound reach your ears like whispers, messages that need deciphering from another continent, brought by butterfly migration to the El Rosario sanctuary.
They congregate on trees like sacred fir trees and oyamel, by the millions, so the branches they perch on become plaid orange and black throughout, weighed and pointing to the ground. These butterflies don’t just roost, but pollinate flowers, which are usually just as colorful as they are. Sometimes they gather around and wither.

During autumn,the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve gets flooded with millions of butterflies that have journeyed through continents, welcomed, too, by people who visit the sanctuary to witness their spectacle. From Canada, eastern US, and such, they roost through winter before returning north. It is an extremely long journey for these insects, a goal for butterfly generations, in fact.
The following year, sometimes returning to the same trees, are their great great grandchildren. Monarch Watch researchers give out stickers to volunteers and interested citizens to paste them on the discal cell of these butterflies’ wings. It’s a project they’re working on in the University of Kansas. These stickers indicate the email address, ID code, and the person’s contact details. Once found, if ever, the tags should be able to give researchers information regarding their flight journey and the places they’ve traveled to.

In 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope achieves its 30th year in orbit. Hubble’s unique design, allowing it to be repaired and upgraded with advanced technology by astronauts, has made it one of NASA’s longest-living and most valuable observatories, beaming transformational astronomical images to Earth for decades.
Hubble has fundamentally changed our understanding of the cosmos. Throughout the year, we’ll celebrate the many ways that Hubble has brought the universe home to Earth with special events in public spaces and on social media, new images, videos and documentaries, interactive features, and more. To keep updated on all of NASA's Hubble’s anniversary activities as they develop, be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, or use #Hubble30.

Today's Smile Post-Bison Watering Hole
.(Note from Dinar Recaps - With everything bad happening around us these days, we are starting a daily post, with a glimmer of hope, or distraction for a few minutes. Leave comments below if you have some good ideas for additional posts. If you like these videos consider bookmarking this page.)
This camera is located near a natural spring along Grasslands National Park's Ecotour road in the west block near Val Marie, Saskatchewan. Watch as bison and other animals visit the hole for a refreshing drink (or dip!).
Grasslands National Park is one of the few remaining natural grasslands in North America, a testament to the prairies as they existed for millennia before they were turned under by the settler's plough.
Here visitors really can watch the buffalo roam, the deer and the antelope play. The park has plains bison, swift fox and is home to Canada's only black-tailed prairie dog colonies, a keystone prairie species. Viewers can wander through a black-tailed prairie dog colony, where these cute creatures, known for their distinctive barks and yips, groom, frolic and carry on with their business, while often providing food for predators such as coyotes, badgers and various birds of prey.
