Where Did The #FreeTheNipple Movement Come From And Where Is It Going?

'If you’ve been following woman’s rights issues on social media then you’re probably aware of the #FreeTheNipple campaign that first started to trend in 2014 when director Lina Esco released her American feature film 'Free the Nipple.'

The film is about a group of young women who take to the streets of New York and Los Angeles, protesting inequality and the right to go topless. However, surprisingly, after she shot the film, Lina Exco found it difficult to find distribution which motivated her to take the campaign to social media where it went viral and was picked up by a number of celebrities.  

In the documentary, two protesters are arrested for indecent exposure outside of a campaign appearance for Senator Bernie Sanders. They appeared topless except for pieces of tape over their nipples, and had the words "Free the Nipple", "Equality", and "Feel the Bern" written on their breasts. LAPD officers asked them to cover themselves up. When they refused they were arrested and thrown into jail. They were held for 25 hours without being charged with a crime. After being released, the protestors filed a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department.

Most people remember Miley Cyrus as the first female celebrity to gain world wide fame for the movement but just recently Jennifer Aniston has spoken to several news outlets explaining she was actually the first celebrity to spread the movement in the early nineties. 
​
In her famous television show, Friends, her character, Rachael, is often shown wearing a tight shirt with her nipples sticking through the thin fabric. This has lead some fans to speculate she wanted her nipples on display. Jennifer Aniston, for her part, is not ashamed of her poking nipples and believes it promotes feminism.

Juno's Flyby Captures Spectacular New Images of The Gas Plant

The $1.1 Billion Juno Probe project developed by NASA has just sent back to Earth incredible photographs of Jupiter and it’s ‘Giant Red Spot’ which was shot with an optical camera known as the JunoCam. The spacecraft has been documenting the giant gas plant like never before, recording the planet with sophisticated radars, radiation detectors, and magnetic and gravitational field recorders to give us a better understanding of Jupiter. Scientists hope to learn more about the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen and a better estimate of Jupiter’s core mass which will hopefully help us discover how Jupiter was formed and it’s role in the Solar System.

Because Jupiter is a gas planet, it is constant changing and therefore it has been interesting to see the type of data collected, expanding our understanding of our Solar System. For example, Jupiter’s’ icy moon Europa is one of the most fascinating aspects of the exploration. One of the four moons orbiting Jupiter, it is the sixth largest moon in the Solar System.
​
First explored in 1973 and 1974, the two Voyager probes were able to provide the most detailed photographs of the moon’s icy surface. The photographs caused many scientists to speculate about the possibility of a liquid ocean – and even life – underneath.  If life or evidence of life was discovered on the icy moon, it wouldn't be on the surface but instead it would be hidden in the depths of the oceans, where it is warmer and the pull of a nearby planet's gravity keeps water liquid.
