🇺🇸 DID YOU KNOW: American astronauts have been voting from SPACE since 1997?
Anil Menon, a NASA astronaut on the International Space Station, posted a video about how it works:
"We have the privilege of being able to vote here as well, just like YOU on the ground."
Basically, the astronauts' sleeping compartment doubles as an improvised voting booth!
They use a computer, and it gets sent electronically to their polling location, 250 miles below their feet.
Your vote matters. Even at 17,500 miles per hour.

Every year on Halloween, thousands of people turn New York into a real-life "Thriller" music video.

🦇 DYK there are 13 native bat species in Florida? 🦇
These tiny creatures are nature’s superheroes. 🦸 They are the only mammal capable of true flight. They zoom around at night, using high-frequency sound waves to navigate and find prey -- even in total darkness! A single bat can eat hundreds of mosquitoes 🦟 each night, and they also eat insects that are damaging to agricultural crops. 🍅🍉
