We will never forget.

It's been 25 years since the 9/11 terror attacks on America. On Friday, the nation will remember those lost on that fateful day and take a moment of silence in their memory.

On this quarter-century anniversary of the attacks, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will add a seventh moment of silence to honor those who have died of illnesses related to their time at or near the World Trade Center site.

Texas stays active after dark. Bats, moths, fireflies, owls, and other wildlife rely on nighttime habitats to thrive.

Reducing unnecessary outdoor lighting helps protect the species that depend on darkness.
