Sunday, September 13 marks the first International Day of Caves and Karst, highlighting the importance of caves and karst landscapes around the world - from providing drinking water to supporting unique ecosystems and preserving geological history.

The National Speleological Society is celebrating with an open house at its Huntsville headquarters, including a rare opportunity to tour Shelta Cave, which hasn’t been open to the public in decades.

The open house runs 1–5:30 p.m. at 6001 Pulaski Pike. Cave tours require advance registration.

The four astronauts of NASA’s Artemis II mission recently returned to Huntsville as part of a “Congratulations and Gratitude” tour, thanking the teams who helped send them around the Moon and safely home.

At Marshall Space Flight Center, the crew met with employees and contractors who worked on the Space Launch System rocket that carried them into space. Commander Reid Wiseman said the relationship between the crew and the teams behind SLS came down to one word: “trust.”

For mission specialist Christina Koch, the connection to Huntsville goes back even further. She was a longtime Space Camp participant and says the experience helped foster her dreams of becoming an astronaut.

Five years ago, the Huntsville Madison County Public Library launched Blast, a free streaming platform dedicated to music from artists across north Alabama and the Tennessee Valley.

Today, the platform features about 245 local artists and the catalog continues to grow. Digital services librarian Annie Phillips says the goal is to keep expanding the variety of genres while making local music accessible to listeners anytime, with no login or credentials required.

Artists can also submit their music for consideration during Blast’s latest submission period, running now through September 30.
