The article linked below shows you several ways to find free, usable, images. This is especially important since Google does not always make it easy to find images that match certain usage rights (such as Creative Commons). We should be encouraging and guiding our students to use images that they are legally allowed to use (as well as doing that ourselves!).

On the Earth Science/astronomy front, it might be of interest to know that today is a super(new)moon, the closest in 2017. This is the first supermoon that is a new moon since 2009. Even though it is a supermoon (due to being relatively close to Earth), you won’t be able to see it since the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. About the only effect you may notice is that we are having particularly high and low tides today and the next couple of days.
