From Sept. 4 to 9, the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park hosted “Voyage of Europa Clipper: Exploring an Alien Ocean,” a special exhibit sponsored by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The pop-up was designed to engage the public about the JPL’s mission to send a spacecraft to Europa in hopes of confirming conditions suitable for extraterrestrial life.
To even the most uneducated in the rules of modern baseball, a home run is the thing to get. Knocking one over the fences and out of bounds is maybe the most iconic image associated with the sport, and the fastest way to earn points in a game.
Music emanated from among the majestic trees and floated across the lush green lawns, inviting visitors to step into the Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park.

If you strolled by Java Beach Café in the Sunset District near Ocean Beach this summer, you might have encountered Krystle Pizzuti – an energetic woman adorned in a straw hat and colorful attire. At her table, carefully arranged with stunning crystals, gems, and rocks, Pizzuti offered both stones and their stories to curious visitors.
Eyes turned to the Richmond District Aug. 9-11, as nearby Golden Gate Park held one of the largest and most beloved music festivals in the United States, according to TimeOut.
Gear up for the October 2024 launch of NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, which will uncover the mysteries of Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa, with interactive exhibits, captivating models, and guest speaker Dr. Kevin Hand.

The image is simple: The border of Golden Gate Park and Fulton Street, cars whizzing by. Neighbors and their dogs meander through the scene, telephone wires swing in the breeze; 22nd Avenue stretches out as if to touch the Bay. In the center of the frame stands artist Nathaniel J. Bice, back to the trees, head bowed over his easel, hands capturing the live Richmond landscape with his paintbrush and gouache.
A great blue heron glides just above the water at Middle Lake in Golden Gate Park, then gracefully spreads its wings, feet rippling the surface as it lands with a splash and gentle wake.
The parking lot is not an off-leash area. Most of the people who bring their dogs keep them on-leash until they are inside the gate. It’s the only considerate thing to do but it seems some owners have no consideration.
Members of dahlia societies from all over California, Oregon and Idaho will be coming to San Francisco’s Annual Dahlia Show Aug. 17 and 18 at the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park to display their best blooms and to compete for coveted prizes, such as “best in show,” “best arrangement,” and “nature’s oddities.”
What will we have lost if we turn a blind eye to the neglect of SF’s world-renowned Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park? What used to be a pristine, well-cared-for example of horticultural exquisiteness and has become a shabby, clear cut, dried up spectacle of itself.
