👋 Wave clouds over the Crozet Islands.

The mountainous islands disrupt the flow of air, which can have a ripple-like effect on the clouds. An astronaut aboard the @Space_Station captured this image earlier this year.

Pops of Poppies 🌼🌼

After California’s particularly wet winter: a sea of wildflowers. Orange, gold, and yellow flowers flood the valleys and hills of Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in this image by #Landsat 8.

Where are flood waters flowing after major storms? How much did the land move during an earthquake or volcanic eruption? OPERA, a @NASA-led project, is helping make Earth data from multiple satellite missions more accessible.

Keep your head in the clouds for as long as you need. ☁️
#NASAEarth


These swirly clouds are called von Kármán vortices. They occurred as winds rushed past the tall volcanic peaks of the Canary Islands. The @nasa @noaa Suomi NPP satellite captured the swirls in action. https://go.nasa.gov/3omYRYa

Earth at night. 🌏🖤

Dark skies help us see the brilliant color of auroras, pinpoint constellations and other planets in the night sky, and are important for the health of plants, insects, animals, and humans. #DarkSkyWeek
#NASAEarth


Auroras are caused by particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field and upper atmosphere. The northern and southern lights are more difficult to observe near the lights of cities and large metropolitan areas.
#NASAEarth


Scientists compared nighttime lights seen by NASA satellites and @cdc health data.

They found that poorer, non-white neighborhoods experience more artificial light at night, which can disrupt circadian rhythms and cause sleep deficiency. #DarkSkyWeek

Heavy rains overtopped the banks of the Shabelle and Juba rivers, affecting hundreds of thousands of people in Ethiopia and Somalia. NASA’s Terra satellite captured flooding in this enhanced-color image which makes the water, in dark blue, stand out.

ENSO is a complicated climate pattern.

Sea surface temperature, trade winds, atmospheric coupling and more are all factors in the El Niño Southern Oscillation.
#NASAEarth


Tropical Cyclone Ilsa made landfall in Western Australia around midnight local time on April 13, 2023.

The @nasa @noaa Suomi NPP satellite captured this image about 10 hours prior. https://go.nasa.gov/3KY2j4s
#NASAEarth


#ICESat2 fires 10,000 laser pulses a second, sending six green beams of light toward Earth.

Scientists can measure the height of ice, oceans, trees and more based on how long it takes those beams to bounce off Earth and return to the satellite. http://go.nasa.gov/6851

B-22A has set sail. 🧊

The iceberg is the largest remaining piece of a massive berg that broke off Thwaites Glacier in 2002. This animation of satellite images shows B-22A drifting about 175 kilometers (110 miles) in about six months. https://go.nasa.gov/401kXfT

Two major eruptions on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula blasted volcanic material into the stratosphere within the same week.

The first erupted on April 7, captured in this image by #Landsat 8, with a second, more powerful eruption on April 10. https://go.nasa.gov/43qAvg6 🌋 🌋
#NASAEarth


The Shiveluch volcano erupted on April 10, sending a plume of ash and smoke anywhere from 10-20 kilometers (about 6-12 miles) high.

It’s hard to distinguish clouds from snow in the satellite image (left). The enhanced-color (right) shows snow in orange and ash in blue/gray.

... Ready For It?

Our satellites can't see someone driving a Getaway Car, but we do get Gorgeous images of Earth at night that help us track nighttime light on New Year's Day and every day. So It Goes...🖤🎶

Stop and smell the wildflowers! 🌼
#NASAEarth


Intense winter rains in Southern California blossomed into a magnificent display of wildflowers. #Landsat saw it best in this image of Carrizo Plain National Monument captured on April 6, 2023. ⤵️

Is this Earth or mars? 🤔

@nasa scientists discovered dozens of new microbe species while studying lava caves in Hawaii to better understand how to search for past or present life on Mars. https://go.nasa.gov/3mk5hqj

Scientists with NASA’s EXPORTS mission set out to study carbon in the ocean with ships, buoys, gliders and more.

Now, @NASAEarthdata scientists are working to manage all of that data, which will ultimately help develop models of ocean carbon. https://go.nasa.gov/3GpI50K
#NASAEarth


A @nasa study confirms: major wet and dry events are occurring more often due to climate change.

There were four of these events, on average, per year from 2015-2021. That’s up from an average of three per year for 2002-2015. https://go.nasa.gov/3MbImbm
#NASAEarth


The scientists analyzed 20 years of GRACE and GRACE-FO data in the study.

These satellites use Earth’s gravity to measure changes in water stored in soils, lakes, aquifers, snow and more.

I guess this…IMPACTS the weather forecast! 🥁

@nasa’s IMPACTS mission flew its final campaign from @NASA_Wallops this winter, flying planes directly into and over snowstorms to better understand how they form and move to help improve weather forecasts. ❄️
