@CENTECTecnico
We've got a new Earth Explorer sibling in space, and it's very exciting!
We've got the ice and water on the surface covered, and EarthCARE has its eye (or eyes) on the clouds 🌦️
It was great to see

lift off this week, and there are many reasons to be excited for the science to come.
In fact, here are 🔟 of them 😍

Once again, the Brunt iceshelf has some breaking news:
as these two satellite images show, a new iceberg detached from the shelf on 22 May.
This is the the third significant iceberg calving from this region in the past four years.

has been stuck in its pirouette above a Taylor column since early April. It hasn't budged. How long can this continue? What will it require to break out of the dizzy cycle - a big winter storm? Calling

Please tell me we're going to call it the
