Can the Los Angeles River be Restored?
The LA River where it meets the Pacific Ocean in Long Beach, California. This is the entry point for migrating steelhead salmon that would hope to return to their spawning grounds in the mountains above Los Angeles. This marks the start of a nearly 40 mile journey upstream, though barriers above prevent a successful migration.

Major bleaching is currently occurring on the coral reefs of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. The marine biologist teams of CRIOBE (Centre for Island Research and Environmental Observatory) are specialists in the study of coral ecosystems. They are currently working on â resilient coralsâ , The teams of PhD Laetitia Hédouin identify, mark and perform genetic analysis of corals, which are not impacted by thermal stress. They then produce coral cuttings which are grown in a â coral nurseryâ and compared to other colonies studying the resilience capacity of coral. (Photo by Alexis Rosenfeld/Getty Images).

The 'Akaka falls are a 422 ft (135 m) tall waterfall and are the highlight of the Akaka falls state park. This park is located close to Hilo and a visit to the Akaka falls should be part of any road trip at the Hamakua coast.You can only see the falls after a pleasant and short 0.4-mile hike from the parking lot. This walk is called the Akaka Falls Loop Trail. The pleasant 0.4-mile uphill hike will take you through a lush rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo groves and draping ferns.As you follow the paved footpath, you'll first see 100-foot Kahuna Falls, then Akaka Falls.

When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reachesits orbit about a million miles (1.5 kilometers) fromEarth and begins studying the distant reaches of theuniverse, the event will mark an unprecedented triumphon several technological fronts.Aside from its 21.3-foot (6.5-meter) primary mirror —the largest and lightest ever flown — JWST will fly adeployable multi-layer sunshade. This tennis court -sized structure will block sunlight and prevent the coldsection of the observatory from exceeding -375° F(-233.3°C) — the temperature needed to detect faintinfrared light from distant astronomical objects andreveal more about the formation of planetarysystems.The microshutters used on the observatory’s NearInfrared Spectrograph also represent another technologicalbreakthrough. They, too, achieved a technologyreadiness level rating of six following an importantdemonstration test earlier this year. Originally conceivedwith Goddard R&D funding, the microshutter arrayconsists of 62,415 tiny shutters arranged in a waffle-like silicon grid. Through the application of a magneticforce, these shutters — each about the width of ahuman hair — open or close to allow or preventstarlight from entering the spectrograph. This way,astronomers can gather light from only those objectsthey want to study.JWST also is flying a super-cold mechanical cyrocoolerto keep instruments cool and state-of- the- art infrareddetectors.Photo Credit: Chris GunnSpring 2007
