A Year in the Life of Earth: A Cosmic Perspective From a million miles away, NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory has been our cosmic eye, capturing the sunlit side of our planet 13 to 22 times a day since 2015. Imagine the vastness of the stratosphere, its protective ozone layers, and the intricate dance of clouds sweeping across the globe. EPIC's constant watch has allowed scientists like Adam Szabo, Alexander Marshak, and Jay Herman at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to unlock the secrets of our atmosphere. Their research unveils not only the beauty of Earth but the intricate processes that sustain life. Beyond the atmosphere, EPIC's unique vantage point reveals the vibrant health of our planet's vegetation and the delicate shimmer of ice crystals in the air—each observation a vital piece in understanding our climate and environment. These insights, brought to life by the artistry of animators and visualizers like Kayvon Sharghi and Joycelyn Thomson Jones, are more than scientific achievements; they are a testament to the interconnectedness of our world. As we witness this year in the life of Earth, let us remember our responsibility in shaping its future.

A year on Earth—a dance of light and shadow, a symphony of winds and waves. From a vantage point a million miles away, NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera, or EPIC, aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory, has been our eyes in the cosmos, capturing the sunlit side of our planet between 13 and 22 times a day since 2015. Imagine the sheer expanse of the stratosphere, with its layers of protective ozone, or the intricate patterns of clouds drifting across the globe. EPIC's continuous gaze has allowed scientists like Adam Szabo, Alexander Marshak, and Jay Herman at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to unravel these atmospheric mysteries. Their research has illuminated not just the beauty, but the dynamic processes that sustain life on Earth. Beyond the atmosphere, EPIC's unique perspective reveals the vibrant health of our planet's vegetation and the subtle glimmers of ice crystals in the air—each observation a piece of the puzzle in understanding our climate and environment. These insights, brought to life by the skilled hands of animators and visualizers like Kayvon Sharghi and Joycelyn Thomson Jones, are not just scientific achievements but a testament to the interconnectedness of our world. As we marvel at these revelations from a year in the life of Earth, let us also recognize our role in its future.

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is "Shaking" | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot, a storm larger than Earth, has fascinated astronomers for over 150 years. Thanks to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, we are now seeing this legendary storm in an entirely new light. Recent observations show that the Great Red Spot is wobbling and fluctuating in size. Captured in high-resolution images over 90 days, Hubble’s data reveals the storm speeding up, slowing down, and changing shape—surprising even seasoned scientists. The team predicts that the storm will continue to shrink and eventually stabilize, but right now, it is still full of dynamic surprises. Discover how these new findings could help us understand extreme weather not just on Jupiter, but on Earth and distant exoplanets too. Watch the video to see Hubble’s latest footage of this mysterious storm!

Hubble Space Telescope Helps Investigate the Mystery of Mars’ Escaping Water FriendsofNASA.org: Mars was once a very wet planet. Scientists know that over the last 3 billion years, part of the water went underground, but what happened to the rest? Now, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) Mission are helping to unlock that mystery. To understand how much water there was and what happened to it, scientists need to understand how the atoms escape into space. A team combined data from Hubble and MAVEN to measure the current rate of these atoms escaping into space. This information allowed them to extrapolate the escape rate backwards through time to understand the history of water on the Red Planet. For more information on MAVEN, go to: https://lnkd.in/gFhaf74M Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Paul Morris: Lead Producer Dan Gallagher: Producer for Assorted Mars Animations Duration: 3 minutes Release Date: Sept. 5, 2024 Jonathan Wolf Randall Nichols Behrokh Beiranvand Darcey Watson Diane M.

Witness the Birth of a Star! 🌟✨ NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled a stunning, high-resolution image of Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), capturing the mesmerizing outflow of a young star. This image, rich in infrared detail, shows the birth of a star much like our Sun, just a few tens of thousands of years old. HH 211’s outflow, shaped by powerful jets colliding with surrounding gas and dust, reveals bow shocks and a “wiggling” inner jet, hinting at a potential binary star system! This discovery not only highlights the complexity of star formation but also showcases Webb’s unmatched ability to peer through cosmic dust, unveiling the secrets of the universe’s beginnings. Join us on this cosmic journey and explore the dynamic forces at play in the birth of stars!

Why is the Carina Nebula considered a 'stellar nursery'? Behold the awe-inspiring "Cosmic Cliffs" of the Carina Nebula, captured in stunning detail by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. This vibrant region, located 7,500 light-years away, is one of the most active star-forming regions in our galaxy, earning its title as a true "stellar nursery." The colossal, craggy peaks you see in this image aren’t solid mountains — they’re massive clouds of gas and dust, sculpted by intense ultraviolet radiation from newly born stars.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the globular cluster NGC 2005... It’s not an unusual globular cluster in and of itself, but it is a peculiarity when compared to its surroundings. NGC 2005 is located about 750 light-years from the heart of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is the Milky Way’s largest satellite galaxy some 62,000 light-years fro1m Earth. Globular clusters are densely packed groups of stars that can hold tens of thousands or millions of stars. Their density means they are tightly bound by gravity and therefore very stable. This stability contributes to their longevity: globular clusters can be billions of years old and are often comprised of very old stars. Studying globular clusters in space can be a little like studying fossils on Earth: where fossils give insights into the characteristics of ancient plants and animals, globular clusters illuminate the characteristics of ancient stars ...text credit: European Space Agency (ESA) Maisons Of Tomorrow editor@ maisonsoftomorrow #globularcluster #space #magellaniccloud #nasa

#HH211, #JWST helps us understand the early stages of star and planet formation, providing context for how our own solar system may have formed. While this single image doesn't show the entire 4.5-billion-year journey from star formation to the evolution of self-aware life, it offers a glimpse into the very beginning of that process. While the JWST image of Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211) doesn't directly show how our Sun formed, it does provide valuable insights into star formation processes that are likely similar to our Sun's early stages. HH 211 shows a very young star in its early stages of formation, similar to how our Sun would have looked about 4.6 billion years ago. The image reveals powerful jets and outflows, which are typical features of young stellar objects. Young stars like HH 211 are typically surrounded by a disk of gas and dust, called a protoplanetary disk. In our solar system, this disk eventually coalesced to form the planets, including Earth. HH 211 is only tens of thousands of years old, while our Sun and solar system took about 50 million years to form fully. Self-aware life on Earth evolved much later, over billions of years of evolution.

Evolution of Planet Saturn's Ring Tilt (2018-2024) | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: This is a series of Hubble Space Telescope images of the planet Saturn taken between 2018 and 2024. The sequence shows how the tilt of the magnificent ring system changes relative to the view from Earth, as Saturn orbits the Sun. Approximately every 15 years the relatively paper-thin rings (about one mile thick) can be seen edge-on. In 2018, they were near their maximum tilt toward Earth. These images were taken under a Hubble program called Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL). Credits: Science: NASA, European Space Agency, Amy Simon (NASA-GSFC), Michael H.
