  NASA’s SWOT Satellite Reveals Big Impact of Small Ocean Currents and Waves in n Marine Ecosystems

  NASA’s SWOT satellite, in collaboration with CNES, reveals how submesoscale ocean features just a mile wide drive vital vertical circulation. These small currents transport heat, carbon, and nutrients, profoundly influencing marine ecosystems and climate systems. The mission’s high-resolution data is reshaping how scientists model ocean-atmosph...

  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.

  Massive Asteroid 2002 JX8 to Fly Past Earth on May 9, Live Stream Available for Public Viewing

  A 950-foot-wide asteroid named 2002 JX8 will safely pass Earth on May 9. The Virtual Telescope Project will livestream the event starting at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Scientists confirm there is no risk, as the asteroid will remain over 2.6 million miles away. It’s classified as potentially hazardous based on size and distance, not on collision likelihood.

  NASA Reveals a Fracture in Huge Cosmic Bone: Everything You Need to Know

  With the use of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NASA has detected a fracture in the Milky Way. The bone is a galactic center filament that is based at a distance of 26,000 light years from Earth. The fracture would have occurred due to collisions with the neutron star, known as a pulsar, that spins rapidly. The scientists suspect that the fracture w...

  Asteroid Vesta May Be a Fragment of a Lost Planet, Say Scientists

  Vesta, once believed to be a stalled protoplanet, may be a fragment of a long-lost differentiated planet. Using refined gravity data from NASA’s Dawn mission, scientists found it lacks a dense core, suggesting it was ejected during a primordial impact. This revised view may apply to other asteroids and reshape planetary formation theories.

  NASA Spots Plankton Swarms from Space to Help Save North Atlantic Right Whales

  North Atlantic Right Whales are one of the world’s most endangered mammals. They face threats from fishing gear entanglement and ship collisions. Scientists are now using NASA satellite data to track the whales’ key food source, the red coloured plankton Calanus finmarchicus, in the Gulf of Maine. By identifying swarms of this copepod via its n...
