A day late, but this is one of the first images taken of Earth from space. Ever. It was acquired from an altitude of 105 km (five times higher than the previous record) eighty years ago, on 24 October 1946, with a 35 mm camera mounted on a V-2 rocket launched from the White Sands Missile Range.

Interesting stat: of polling places counted so far, 153 have swung to Flávio; 6.6k have swung to Lula.

TRANSmitter This is the name I'm giving my weekly series where I hope to share some insights into my journey and experiences as a transgender woman. I feel it's a great word to use because it connects to my career on the radio where the transmitter is what sent my voice to listeners.
