Satellite view shows #wildfire smoke from #Canada crossing the Ligurian Sea, reaching northern Italy. The hazy plume stretches from the Gulf of Lion to Genoa, driven by upper-level winds. This transatlantic transport shows how distant fires affect European skies and atmospheric clarity. #AirQuality

Love being able to 𝘀𝗲𝗲 the connectivity of our planetary system. The Sahara fertilizing the oceans across the Atlantic, feeding plankton and helping to draw down CO₂. Iron, Phosphorous, and other nutrients in the dust even help to fertilize soils in Florida and along the Gulf! 🎥 @zoom.earth 1/2

Newly available high-resolution satellite imagery collected by Maxar shows the village of Blatten, Switzerland, almost completely buried after the collapse of the Birch Glacier. Truly catastrophic.

Yesterday, GOES-19 became operational and took over for GOES-16 as GOES-East. As a farewell, here are a few of the most impressive and interesting views that GOES-16 provided over the last 7 years... The moon’s shadow passes over North America during the Great American Eclipse in August 2017.

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects. Story for @bloomberg.com (free link):

A stunning view of the partial #SolarEclipse from #space! 🌒 Captured by @eumetsat.int's Meteosat-12 satellite, you can see the Moon’s shadow sweeping across Earth between 06:00 - 12:30 UTC. 🛰 Unlike a total eclipse, part of the Sun remained visible - did you catch it from the ground? 👀

A non-tropical low has been tagged by the NHC in the central Atlantic, but development is unlikely as it will move into an area of strong upper-level winds and dry air tonight into Tuesday.

The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.

A complete and all-out attack on NOAA. Without a functioning NOAA there is no function seafood industry, no functioning radar network, no functioning weather models (US or otherwise). Would you cut a personal investment that saved you 70 times over your original investment every single year? (1/3)

"Losing this much money, this fast, has no precedence in NASA's history. It would force terrible decisions, including turning off scores of active, productive, irreplaceable missions, halting nearly all new mission development, and decimating the country's space science workforce." 🔭

Another one bites the (lunar) dust! This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mutons near the lunar south pole. The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.

This would end space science as we know it. I’d probably be out of a job. Successful ongoing missions would be turned off. Future missions would be axed. Some research centers (NASA & non-NASA) would likely dissolve.
