This clip should make it a little easier to spot - especially as there were no clouds between the @Space_Station and @CityofWilm 260 miles below at 3:18PM EDT this afternoon.

Carolina Beach State Park’s Sugarloaf Trail was named one of the Top 15 running spots in America, thanks to its scenic running trail and native Venus flytraps. Check out the full article from @MensJournal here:

Celebrate World Migratory Bird Day on May 8 & May 9 at Carolina Beach State Park while getting some miles in! The guided walk begins at 7:30am and lasts approximately 2 hours. More info here: ow.ly/Xjam50EHDaG
Much smaller burn today, than first planned. 10-14 acres across from Visitors Center starting late AM. Most trails should open back up to the public by early afternoon. 🔥
Monday, April 26 park staff will conduct a controlled burn resulting in the closure of numerous trails shaded in red. 🚷Hikers are encouraged to use the Fitness Trail or Snows Cut Trails for their daily walks. Park facilities operate as normal, however smoky conditions may exist.
