Down the Rabbit Hole Again…

Researching stuff can be so fun! Though it sometimes takes longer than planned 😉

Grand Prismatic Spring by Flickr user Bernd Thaller

As I talked about it class briefly, there’s a drone in the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park and it was a TOTALLY big deal, especially right away. I found a good article that was from 11 months after the event so provided some context and updates: A crashed drone could destroy Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring in the Idaho State Journal newspaper. Scientists are worried about the battery especially. Now we’re almost 10 years later, that drone has never been recovered, and the colors are still beautiful (they’re caused by the microbes) so hopefully all is well. Time will tell.
