The top image shows the Hazcam footage, while the bottom shows frames processed (with "change detection software") to help visualize how the gust move

From over 100 miles above the surface, a NASA satellite spotted dry ice and gullies inside a Martian crater. It gets quite chilly on Mars during its winter — NASA's rovers contend with temperatures of -140 degrees Fahrenheit , though it gets much colder at the poles — allowing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to condense into dry ice. In this image, wintertime CO2 frost is found closer to the equator, where it's usually a bit too "warm" for dry ice to exist.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
