The data from STAQS will complement new measurements from NASA’s TEMPO satellite, which measures hourly daytime air pollution over North America.

TEMPO launched in April 2023. πŸ›°οΈ go.nasa.gov/45586w6

The STAQS team is tracking where air pollutants come from, how they change hour by hour, and which neighborhoods are disproportionately exposed to unhealthy air. go.nasa.gov/3rQuStC

πŸ’₯ @NASAHubble catches a petulant star blasting a planet. Flares, powered by intense magnetic fields tangled by the roiling motions of the stellar atmosphere, lead to torrential winds, X-rays and more. go.nasa.gov/43Pa3Me

Well, it just keeps going around and around and around like some gnat. So yeah, sooner or later you do want to swat the damned thing.

Hiccups happen to everyone... even planets.

Hubble observed an exoplanet orbiting so close to its parent star that it experiences a consistent, torrential blast of energy, which evaporates its hydrogen atmosphere – causing it to puff off the planet: go.nasa.gov/3OzYIvm

This exo planet is the perfect example of a toxic relationship!

If a planet can get the hiccups, perhaps a planet can also catch a fever.

(Boy, it's hot outside!)

How do planets get their names? Aside from Earth, planets in our solar system were named after ancient gods. Today, the job of naming falls to the International Astronomical Union, the internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodies. solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/

Stars in our eyes 🀩
At the center of this image are two stars forming. Over thousands of years, they repeatedly consume, then eject the gas and dust around them. After millions of years, the pair – binary stars – will take their place in the universe. go.nasa.gov/3OFJFjP

Within the orange-white splotch at the center of this image are 2 chaotic baby stars. Over thousands of years, the pair repeatedly gobbled up, then spat out the gas and dust around them β€” producing those fiery orange lobes: go.nasa.gov/3OFJFjP
