Eh, Just Get a Flock

NASA wants to see your pictures of the sky.
The Hill | 09/09/2026 | Alix Martichoux

Starting on Sept. 15, the space agency’s PACE satellite (which stands for the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem satellite) will circle the Earth every 98 minutes.

Scientists want to compare what they’re seeing in the sky with what you’re seeing on the ground.

Sorry —

I don’t happen to have any decent pictures of plankton, aerosols, clouds, or [“ocean” — such an inept acronym] ecosystems available at the moment to share.  Perhaps you could look in my more …. private folders.

Of course, you can always check back in with me in 98 minutes.

Which I know you will.

https://stan.store/blog/influencer-rates/

Influencer rates in 2026 are shaped by far more than follower count: platform, content format, engagement quality, audience location, and niche demand all affect pricing. Video-first formats (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube integrations) command higher rates than static posts. Micro influencers offer the best cost-to-results ratio for most brands. This guide covers data-backed pricing benchmarks for nano, micro, macro, and mega influencers across every major platform.
