Joint NASA, CNES Water-Tracking Satellite Reveals First Stunning Views
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission offers the first taste of the detailed perspectives of Earth’s surface water that its cutting-edge instruments will be able to capture.Tony Greicius (NASA)
A whole new view 🤩 🌊
First taste from the SWOT mission shows Earth’s water in higher definition than ever before. The spatial resolution of SWOT ocean measurements is 10 times greater than sea surface height data gathered over the same area by seven other satellites combined.

Welcome to the galaxy JW100.
Located about 800 million light-years away, it resides in the constellation Pegasus.
Seen at the lower right of this #HubbleFriday image, JW100 is known as a jellyfish galaxy because of its "tendrils" of star-forming gas: go.nasa.gov/40fgqHB
