Almost all marine life depends on phytoplankton, tiny plant-like organisms that use chlorophyll to photosynthesize. Scientists track phytoplankton by measuring the concentration of chlorophyll in the water, which @nasa satellites can detect from space.
Breathing Life into the Ocean
Almost all life in the ocean depends on tiny photosynthetic organisms known as phytoplankton.go.nasa.gov
Lots of chlorophyll in the water can indicate a phytoplankton bloom, swirls of blue and green in the ocean that satellites can see from space.
The color of the swirls tells scientists about the plankton in the bloom and nutrient cycling in the ocean.

However, NASA’s existing satellites have some limitations to what they can see. The @nasaocean PACE satellite, slated to launch in January 2024, is hyperspectral, meaning it will see the ocean in even more hues.

Selecting a landing site on the Moon is more than just pointing at a map. Topography, imaging, and past mission data are just a few things used to determine a landing site.

Ever wonder why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth? 🤔
The Moon rotates exactly once each time it orbits our planet. This arrangement is an example of a special kind of orbital dance called "tidal locking".
Here's how it works: go.nasa.gov/3BdKOb9

I was actually curious if it would work on Linux out of the box. I am no fan of ASCII graphics (I simply can’t remember what anything is:( ) and I’ve wanted to ruin my life further by trying Dwarf Fortress.
(But I don’t want to ruin my life by installing windows)

Peekaboo! 🫣
Hubble helped find a galaxy peeking out from behind the glare of a bright, foreground star. Nicknamed the Peekaboo Galaxy, it's an extraordinary example of a relatively nearby galaxy that shares traits with our universe's earliest galaxies: go.nasa.gov/3F9XIIa

This inset image highlights the Peekaboo Galaxy, formally known as HIPASS J1131–31.
This galaxy may be the nearest example of the galaxy formation processes that commonly took place not long after the big bang, 13.8 billion years ago.
