This gorgeous arc in the sky over Cape Canaveral, Florida, launched a new era for those of us who like breathing clean air. The @TEMPO_Mission instrument is above us now, scanning the continent for air pollution and leaving it nowhere to hide. You can see its first data today.

Very interesting. Amazing what they can do with technology.
The maps show concentrations of nitrogen dioxide gas from pollution around cities and transport routes. With data down to the neighborhood level, we'll reveal disparities in air quality within communities and help develop solutions. #OurSustainablePlanet
