NASA’s Parker Probe Sends Closest-Ever Images from Inside the Sun’s Corona
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has achieved a solar milestone by capturing the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just 3.8 million miles from its surface in December 2024. These WISPR images reveal unprecedented details of the corona, solar wind, and CME collisions. Scientists say this breakthrough will improve our ability to forecast space weather...

AI Reveals Mars’s Mysterious Slope Streaks Likely Formed by Dust, Not Water Activity
An AI-based study has found that Mars’s mysterious dark slope streaks are likely formed by dust and wind, not flowing water as long believed. Based on an analysis of over 86,000 satellite images, the findings challenge past theories and may help scientists focus future Mars missions on more promising areas in the search for ancient life.

NASA Satellite Detects Tree Leaf Changes as Early Volcano Eruption Warning Signal
NASA and Smithsonian scientists find that greener trees seen in satellite images may warn of upcoming volcanic eruptions. The change is linked to rising carbon dioxide emissions from magma, which trees absorb and display through greener leaves. This method could enhance early warning systems and improve public safety near active volcanoes.

Partial Solar Eclipse of March 2025: Satellite Images to Show Moon’s Shadow
A partial solar eclipse will take place on March 29, 2025, visible across parts of Europe, Africa, and North America. The event will reach its peak in Nunavik, Canada, where 94% of the sun will be covered at sunrise. From space, weather satellites like GOES-16 and Himawari will capture images of the moon’s shadow. The International Space Station ...

NASA’s EZIE Satellites Begin Mission to Study Auroral Electrojets and Space Weather
NASA’s Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission has been launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The trio of small satellites will map auroral electrojets, powerful currents in Earth’s atmosphere linked to solar storms. Their data will enhance space weather prediction models and help understand planetary mag...

NASA’s PUNCH Mission Set to Track the Sun’s Corona and Solar Wind in 3D
NASA’s PUNCH mission, set for launch on Feb 27, will deploy four satellites to study the transition between the sun’s corona and the solar wind. The mission aims to improve understanding of space weather by capturing 3D images, helping predict solar storms with greater accuracy. The data will also complement NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, offerin...

Satellite Captures Svalbard Bear Island's Rare Cloud Formations and Algal Bloom
A 2023 satellite image captured algal bloom and atmospheric vortices near Bear Island in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. The algal bloom, stretching 400 kilometres, formed vibrant spirals due to ocean currents. Atmospheric vortices, caused by airflow disruption over Miseryfjellet mountain, mirrored these patterns in the sky. Bear Island’s radioa...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

Satellite Images Reveal the Widespread Destruction of Los Angeles Fires from Space
Satellite images have captured the widespread destruction caused by the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, with over 34,000 acres burned. The Palisades Fire is the largest and most destructive, having devastated Malibu and other areas. Firefighters have successfully protected vital infrastructure like Mount Wilson Observatory and NASA's Jet ...
