Mapping California’s Heatwave from Space
NASA’s Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment (ECOSTRESS) has been mapping temperatures across parts of California from space.
Help NASA Identify Clouds
NASA is looking for volunteers to participate in its Fall Cloud Challenge from October 15 to November 15, 2019.
Mapping Ground Movement From the 2019 California Earthquake with Satellite Data
Researchers with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have used satellite data to map out surface displacement from the 2019 California earthquakes.
NASA Satellite Captures Image of Meteor Over the Bering Sea
On December 18, 2018, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on NASA’s Terra satellite detected the aftermath of an explosion of a fireball (a very bright meteor) 16 miles (26 kilometers) over the Bering Sea.
Hurricane Leslie Moving Towards Portugal
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite captured Hurricane Leslie over the Eastern Atlantic Ocean on October 11, 2018.
NASA Wants You to Send Your Name to the Sun
To celebrate an upcoming groundbreaking mission to the Sun’s atmosphere, NASA is inviting the public to submit their names to be added to a microchip which will be placed onboard the Parker Solar Probe.
Map of Cold and Hot Temperature Anomalies Across the World
NASA has compiled a temperature anomaly map of the world using data acquired between December 26, 2017 and January 2, 2018.
Hurricanes, Sea Salt, Dust, and Smoke
This visualization from the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center shows how particles flow around the Earth’s atmosphere.
Hurricane Ophelia is the Strongest Hurricane to Form East of the United States

3D Model of the Movement of Carbon Dioxide Through Earth’s Atmosphere
NASA has created a model of the way carbon dioxide moves through Earth’s atmosphere.
Using Satellites to Monitor Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes
The production of gamma rays that can be seen by satellites are called terrestrial gamma ray flashes, or TGFs.
Using Clouds to Map Ecosystem Boundaries
Researching clouds and their impact on ecosystems and species could help researchers find an entirely new way to see the Earth. By looking at clouds, researchers can add a layer of evidence to existing theories and practices of conservation of land and animals.
