Impressive to see the void of vessel traffic tonight in the vicinity of #HurricaneErin - thanks to the pre-planning and coordination between the weather and marine navigation experts. #MarineSafety #HurricaneSeason #science #technology

The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story…

In October, we published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism.

NASA’s acting chief calls for the end of Earth science at the space agency NASA’s charter clearly states the agency should study planet Earth, however.

Excuse me?
End of Earth science at NASA???

Thanks for checking. Great to hear that ICEYE has something. There are TerraSAR-X images everywhere from their global mapping projects. We might convince NASA to buy TSX (and ICEYE) data in their CSDA but it would be only for researchers in the USA.

Giant Radar Antenna Reflector on NASA-ISRO Satellite in Full ‘Bloom’ Seventeen days after NISAR’s launch from southeastern India, an essential piece of science hardware has unfurled in orbit.

Final deployment of the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite, the 12-meter radar antenna reflector was successfully completed August 15. Congratulations to all people involved in this important milestone of the mission, in USA and India. #NASA #ISRO #SAR #satellite #NISAR www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/giant-r...

I would be extremely surprised if Umbra collected any images of this location before the landslide. Same for Capella and ICEYE. They don’t have coverage in most of the Earth.

Bill Kristol only sees a problem when a white woman from New Zealand is detained by ICE for several weeks, ignoring all the other tens of thousands in detention.

First Complete Picture of Nighttime Clouds on Mars - Eos Data captured by the Emirates Mars Mission reveal that clouds are typically thicker during Martian nighttime than daytime.

Most of what we know about clouds on Mars comes from data collected during the Martian afternoon. New research paints a complete picture of what Martian clouds look like all day—and night—long.

I for one am glad we are putting more weather monitoring satellites on-orbit, instead of switching them off...

California's Getting an Earlier Start to Wildfire Season - Eos Human-caused climate change has pushed the onset of fire season in the state to as much as 46 days earlier than it was 30 years ago.

Wildfire season in some parts of California starts more than a month earlier than it did in the 1990s, according to new research.

My dad died 25 years ago, and I did not yet reach the age he had when he passed. I will later this year.

“Transformational” Satellite Will Monitor Earth’s Surface Changes - Eos The mission, jointly operated by the United States and India, will measure minute changes to land, ice, and ecosystems around the globe.

#NISAR will take 90 days to perform commissioning tests & reach its science orbit.

“But as we progress, we’re going to get little peeks behind the curtains...It’s going to be transformational.”
—Alex Gardner, JPL

NISAR satellite is in the planned injection orbit. It will be gradually moved to the final science orbit over the next month and a half.

LAUNCH at 1210 UTC Jul 30 of a GSLV Mk II from Satish Dhawan spaceport with the NISAR radar satellite

Liftoff! The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission has launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. #NISAR will scan the entire globe twice every 12 days to measure changes in Earth’s ecosystems, cryosphere, and land surface.

“It’s orbiting magic.” —Alex Gardner, NASAJPL

NISAR has lifted off! And been successfully placed in its orbit! Good job, ISRO! Woohoo!

NISAR reached the planned injection orbit and separated from the rocket!

Liftoff!

You may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking.

In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.

Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/
