The shape of western China’s Qinghai Lake changes as the region’s climate shifts, researchers say.
As water levels drop due to warming trends, dunes build up and divide the lake into several sub-lakes, like Shadao Lake in these #Landsat images. go.nasa.gov/3nHiB9b

#DYK that Skylab was made from the third stage of a Saturn V rocket?
Weighing about 100 tons, the interior had two "floors" divided into areas to sleep, eat, and do experiments. The largest piece of scientific equipment was the Apollo Telescope Mount. #Skylab50

Noctiluca scintillans algae blooms can soak up all the oxygen in the water, killing fish and coral.
Researchers suspect that higher water temperatures due to climate change could be responsible for more frequent and intense blooms. go.nasa.gov/42xvhhx
