Catching crop disease early 🍇

From the air, a NASA instrument helps spot a wine grape disease before it’s visible to the human eye. This remote sensing technique could help detect early signs of infection in this and other crops. go.nasa.gov/43XFeFk

Have you ever wondered what the skies of faraway planets might look like? (Of course you have; we knew we liked you!) Our Sun would be a yellow star in the Leo constellation as seen from a world ~40 light-years away. Take a tour: go.nasa.gov/3yJ8Mcj

Fresh from Jupiter, we have new views of its active moon Io, thanks to the #JunoMission. JunoCam even caught a glimpse of a volcanic plume! This is Prometheus, the "Old Faithful of Io." More images: missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/p…

It's #HubbleFriday time!

This week's new image shows the globular cluster NGC 6652. Globular clusters are roughly spherical groups of stars held together by their mutual gravitational attraction.

NGC 6652 is about 30 million light-years away: go.nasa.gov/3Oi5MLD
#Hubble



All that glitters ...✨
Is a glorious globular cluster! @NASAHubble spied NGC 6652 in our own Milky Way galaxy in the constellation Sagittarius, just under 30,000 light-years from Earth. Globular clusters contain tens of thousands to millions of stars. go.nasa.gov/3YkIBou

Scientists from the Institute of Earth Sciences at @uni_iceland calculated that the eruption was discharging about 12 cubic meters of lava per second on July 17, similar to the 2021 and 2022 eruptions.

Water vapor, carbon dioxide & sulfur dioxide are the most abundant gases in volcanic plumes.

According to satellite sensors like TROPOMI and OMI, winds have mostly pushed the plume over the Atlantic Ocean, but has also affected air quality in Reykjavík.

Does it count if I were a former tutor of one of the engineers when he was in high school? The best thing about being a teacher is that our students grow and learn and eventually reach the stars!!


This month, scientists from @nasa, @NOAA, and several universities are measuring air pollution in U.S. megacities!

NASA’s STAQS mission is studying air quality from sidewalk to satellite. The @noaa AEROMMA project is measuring atmospheric chemistry.
