  • March 21, 2019 - Mozambique Channel - After Floods. Tropical cyclones carry three major threats: winds, storm surge, and rainfall-triggered floods. All three landed devastating blows on Mozambique when Tropical Cyclone Idai came ashore on March 15, 2019, after taking a sharp turn in the Mozambique Channel a few days earlier.

  • April 24, 2019 - Mozambique Channel - Tropical Cyclone Kenneth. Just five weeks after enduring the worst natural disaster in its recorded history, Mozambique is facing another serious storm threat. In March 2019, Tropical Cyclone Idai brought two rounds of devastating rainfall, a 2.5-meter storm surge, and fierce winds, flooding large portions of Mozambique and causing landslides as far inland as Zimbabwe. An estimated 1,000 people died in eastern Africa from the storm, and the damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure was counted in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

  • December 17, 2019 - Australia - View from Terra of the difficult fire season in Australia in southern hemisphere spring. The image at the top of the page comes from Terra's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which observes Earth in 36 different wavelengths. Acquired on December 17, 2019, the false-color image combines visible and infrared light (bands 7-2-1) to distinguish fire burn scars (orange to brown) from healthy vegetation (green) in New South Wales. Red pixels represent areas where Terra detected heat signatures indicative of active fire. (Credit Image: © NASA Earth/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • August 27, 2019 - Paraguay - Imager Released Today, SWIR overlay: Since the beginning of August 2019, NASA satellites have observed several fires near the border of Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil. (Note that this area is not in the Amazon rainforest.) On August 25, 2019, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired images of one of the larger fires, which was burning north of the Paraguay River near Puerto Busch. The first image was made using OLI bands 4-3-2 (visible light). The second image includes observations of shortwave-infrared light in order to highlight the active fire. Recently burned areas appear black. (Credit Image: © NASA/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • August 21, 2019, Amazon Rainforest: From 22,300 miles in space, NOAA's GOES16 captured this image of fires burning in the  Amazon Rainforest today, August 21, 2019. Fires are raging at a record rate in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, and scientists warn that it could strike a devastating blow to the fight against climate change. There have been 72,843 fires in Brazil this year, with more than half in the Amazon region, INPE said. That's more than an 80 percent increase compared with the same period last year.

  • August 19, 2019 - Amazon Rainforest - In the Amazon rainforest, fire season has arrived. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured these images of several fires burning in the states of Rondonia, Amazonas, Para, and Mato Grosso on August 11 and August 13, 2019. In the Amazon region, fires are rare for much of the year because wet weather prevents them from starting and spreading. However, in July and August, activity typically increases due to the arrival of the dry season. Many people use fire to maintain farmland and pastures or to clear land for other purposes. Typically, activity peaks in early September and mostly stops by November. (Credit Image: © NASA Earth/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • April 24, 2019 - Mozambique Channel - Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this natural-color image of Tropical Cyclone Kenneth just before landfall near the border of Mozambique and Tanzania. Around the time of the image, the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimated sustained winds of 120 knots (140 miles/220 kilometers per hour). The cyclone had quickly intensified over the previous 36 hours to arrive as a category 4 storm. (Credit Image: © NASA Earth/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • Few of the Universe’s residents are as iconic as the spiral galaxy. These limelight-hogging celestial objects combine whirling, pinwheeling arms with scatterings of sparkling stars, glowing bursts of gas, and dark, weaving lanes of cosmic dust, creating truly awesome scenes — especially when viewed through a telescope such as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. In fact, this image from Hubble frames a perfect spiral specimen: the stunning NGC 2903. NGC 2903 is located about 30 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo (The Lion), and was studied as part of a Hubble survey of the central regions of roughly 145 nearby disc galaxies. This study aimed to help astronomers better understand the relationship between the black holes that lurk at the cores of galaxies like these, and the rugby-ball-shaped bulge of stars, gas, and dust at the galaxy’s centre — such as that seen in this image.

  • May 2, 2019 - California, U.S. - File - Each day, weather satellites take hundreds of thousands of atmospheric soundings to gather data for forecasting. The groundbreaking idea of using this method dates to the late 1950's, when Earth-observing satellites were a brand-new technology. Scientist Lewis Kaplan developed a way to calculate temperature in the atmosphere for weather forecasting: by measuring the vibration of molecules at different altitudes. This image is an artist's rendering of NASA's Nimbus-3 spacecraft. Launched in 1969, it was the third in a series of meteorological satellites. (Credit Image: ? NASA/ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • May 1, 2019 - Mars Surface - NASA's InSight lander used the Instrument Deployment Camera (IDC) on the end of its robotic arm to image this sunset on Mars on April 25, 2019, the 145th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This was taken around 6:30 p.m. Mars local time. This color-corrected version more accurately shows the image as the human eye would see it. The first mission to send back such images was the Viking 1 lander, which captured a sunset on Aug. 21, 1976; Viking 2 captured a sunrise on June 14, 1978. Since then, both sunrises and sunsets have been recorded by the Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity rovers, among other missions. (Credit Image: © JPL-Caltech/NASA via ZUMA Wire/ZUMAPRESS.com)

  • May 21, 2019, Earth Atmosphere: NASA astronaut Christina Hammock Koch posted this image of Earth taken from aboard the International Space Station. She said: 'A couple times a year, theInternational Space Stationorbit happens to align over the day/night shadow line on Earth. We are continuously in sunlight, never passing into Earth's shadow from the Sun, and the Earth below us is always in dawn or dusk. Beautiful time to cloud watch.

  • May 23, 2019, Promontory, Utah, U.S.: NASA and Northrop Grumman technicians in Promontory, Utah, have applied insulation to the final booster motor segment for the second flight of NASA's deep space rocket, the Space Launch System, and NASA's Orion spacecraft. The insulation, applied to the interior of each steel motor segment, protects the casing from the heat generated by the propellant during launch and flight. The twin, five-segment solid rocket motor boosters for SLS are the largest, most powerful solid propellant boosters ever built. SLS uses both liquid and solid propellant to provide the thrust needed to launch the vehicle and send it to space. NASA is targeting 2022 to test SLS with astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft.
