The Grand Canyon was established as a National Park on this day in 1919. Happy Birthday!
Photo made from Yavapai Point along the South Rim. Way too easy! :)

Happy birthday to....well, to us, actually! 😉🎂🥳
On this day on February 26, 1948, the Max Planck Society was formally founded in Göttingen as the successor organization to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, in the cafeteria of the KWS's aerodynamic testing facility in Göttingen. Somehow we think it’s very auspicious that we were founded in a cafeteria...don't most great ideas start with coffee? 😉☕️ [Credit: Niels Schröder]

#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

Born #onthisday in 1868, the US sociologist + civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois. Celebrate with a look at the stunning hand-drawn "infographics" he made with his students, depicting conditions of African-American life in 1900: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/w-e-b-du-bois-hand-drawn-infographics-of-african-american-life-1900 #otd #BlackHistoryMonth
