@NASA @isro 🌼surveyed wildflowers to test instruments that can track seasonal flower cycles from the air and from space.🏖️studied coastal mangroves and wetlands in Florida to understand how these ecosystems influence atmospheric levels of carbon and methane.& more!

Tesla Full Self-Driving is not safer than a human driving manually. - FSD failed a DMV driver's test.- HW3 has 20/60 vision (illegal).- HW4 has 20/40 vision (bare legal minimum).- FSD hallucinates like all AIs. It's no surprise Tesla can only defend FSD with fake safety stats.

Hurricane Erin, the first Atlantic hurricane in the 2025 season, rapidly intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 5 storm in just over 24 hours. These Suomi NPP satellite images show Erin’s path from August 14-19.

It's near impossible to negotiate with a hospital if you have health insurance. The insurance company has contracts. You are subject to those contracts. If you don't have insurance then legally they have to negotiate a reasonable price. You are in the drivers seat.

See Hurricane Erin in 3D 🌀. Erin went through a period of rapid intensification, strengthening from a Category 1 to a Category 5 hurricane in around 24 hours. @NASA’s GPM Core Observatory passed over Hurricane Erin at 6:23a.m. EDT on August 16th, while it was intensifying.

Today is #NationalAviationDay! ✈️. @NASA airborne missions study Earth from the skies, providing data that helps us better understand our home planet. These missions also help NASA test new technologies and calibrate and validate measurements taken by satellites in space.

This is data from a flight over the Monroe Canyon fire on July 30, 2025. The left resembles what the human eye would see; the right image combines three infrared wavelengths. Active fire is orange, recently burned areas are yellow-green, and live vegetation is purple/blue.

NASA’s ER-2 aircraft unexpectedly captured views of two massive fires while mapping critical minerals. Data like this can provide information about the fire’s characteristics and help scientists understand how fire affects the spectral signatures of surface minerals.

NISAR is one big step closer to beginning its mission to study Earth’s changing surfaces 🌏 . Today, the satellite successfully unfurled its 39-foot-wide (12-meter-wide) antenna reflector. It’s the largest reflector NASA has ever deployed in space!

Hurricanes can cause billions in damage. A new @NASA-@ESA satellite can help. 🛰️. Sentinel-6B, launching later this year, will measure sea levels for nearly all of Earth’s ocean. Its data will help track ocean changes and improve hurricane forecasting.

As Greenland’s most active glacier retreats, it’s fueling tiny ocean organisms. Using a computer model, scientists found meltwater lifts nutrients to the surface and feeds phytoplankton, which take up carbon dioxide and power the world's fisheries.

The fast-growing Gifford Fire has charred over 100,000 acres in California within a week. The fire, seen in this NASA Aqua satellite image, ignited on August 1 and spread quickly through the mountains of Los Padres National Forest due to dry and gusty conditions.
