This COBE informational video was produced back in 1989, before the satellite embarked on its mission to study the cosmic microwave background. 10529 The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) - 1989
The Sun’s energy is one of the biggest forcings on Earth’s climate, and for years satellites have measured total solar irradiance. Glory will continue collection of this critical climate data, which will contribute to the long-term climate record. The cutting edge TIM instrument will continue the work of NASA’s SORCE mission. 10524 Glory's Suncatcher
This episode explores the complexity of atmospheric aerosols- how they impact climate and how researchers study them. Glory’s Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor and Cloud Camera will provide an unprecedented data set for helping scientists understand aerosol particles.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10523 The Particle Puzzle

Glory is a unique research satellite designed to orbit the Earth and achieve two major goals. Glory’s first goal is to collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth's atmosphere and climate system; its second goal is to collect data on solar irradiance for Earth’s long-term climate record. This seven-minute video introduces Glory’s science objectives, people, and instruments, and provides an overview of the Glory mission.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10521 The Road to Glory
How will climate change impact agriculture? This episode explores the need for accurate, continuous and accessible data and computer models to track and predict the challenges farmers face as they adjust to a changing climate.<p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10516 Science for a Hungry World: Agriculture and Climate Change
One of the biggest changes to global agriculture is less about the food itself as it is about the water we use to grow it. In some areas, farmers are using freshwater resources - including groundwater - at an alarming rate. The GRACE satellites enable scientists to discover changes to underground aquifers by monitoring changes in the Earth's gravity. In northern India, farmers rely heavily on irrigation to grow crops, and the resulting massive aquifer depletion creates an uncertain future for the region. <p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10512 Science for a Hungry World: Growing Water Problems
In its first year of operations, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has mapped the entire sky with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity in gamma-rays, the highest-energy form of light. On May 10, 2009 a pair of gamma-ray photons reached Fermi only 900 milliseconds apart after traveling for 7 billion years. Fermi’s measurement gives us rare experimental evidence that space-time is smooth as Einstein predicted, and has shut the door on several approaches to gravity where space-time is foamy enough to interfere strongly with light.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10510 Einstein's Cosmic Speed Limit
Carbon is all around us. This unique atom is the basic building block of life, and its compounds form solids, liquids, or gases. Carbon helps form the bodies of living organisms; it dissolves in the ocean; mixes in the atmosphere; and can be stored in the crust of the planet. A carbon atom could spend millions of years moving through this complex cycle. The ocean plays the most critical role in regulating Earth's carbon balance, and understanding how the carbon cycle is changing is key to understanding Earth's changing climate. <p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10498 Keeping Up With Carbon
One tiny marine plant makes life on Earth possible: phytoplankton. These microscopic photosynthetic drifters form the basis of the marine food web, they regulate carbon in the atmosphere, and are responsible for half of the photosynthesis that takes place on this planet. Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, and as our home planet warms, so does the ocean. Warming waters have big consequences for phytoplankton and for the planet. <p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10497 The Ocean's Green Machines
As the first of six episodes, Science for a Hungry World: Part 1 sets the groundwork for explaining why NASA data is critical to ensure a stable global food system. This video reveals how satellite remote sensing data provide the world with essential information like the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, or NDVI, which allows scientists and governments to see the health of crops on a global scale. This video reinforces the idea that a unique perspective from space is essential for continuous global agricultural monitoring and accurate forecasting.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10490 Science For a Hungry World: Introduction

Nearly every spring since 1991, researchers including William Krabill of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va., have flown on a NASA aircraft over Greenland, collecting measurements of ice thickness from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Now, on March 30, Krabill and colleagures return to collect updated measurements. This time, however, the mission is set to be more extensive than ever before, and takes place with new urgency. Radars and lasers new to the Greenland flights will be tested and calibrated with meaturements currently made from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat). Launched in January 2003, ICESat is already more than six years beyond its three-year design lifetime and should it come to an end, the NASA aircraft will be ready to bridge the gap until the launch of ICESat-II, planned for launch no earlier than 2014.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010400/a010414/GreenlandIceFlights_transcript.htm'>here</a>. 10414 Greenland Ice Flights
Return to P.I.G.: The Long Wait for Science 10412 Return to P.I.G.
Still observing the Earth after 25 years--22 beyond its three-year primary mission lifetime--Landsat 5 collects valuable scientific data daily. Some attribute the satellite's longevity to over-engineering. Others say it's a long run of good luck. Whatever the reason, no one who attended the satellite's March 1984 launch could have expected it would still be working today.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010400/a010401/Transcript_Landsat5Turns25.htm'>here</a>. 10401 Earth Observing Landsat 5 Turns 25 Years Old

In October 2008, Goddard hosted The Discovery Channel's 'Young Scientist Challenge.' The challenge brought ten middle school student finalists from across the country to vie for the title of 'America's Top Young Scientist' and a chance to win a U.S. Savings Bond. Five teacher finalists contended for recognition as 'America's Top Science Teacher.' NASA scientists and educators helped design the activities, which both tested the communication skills of the students and celebrated 50 years of NASA space science.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='/vis/a010000/a010300/a010343/dysc_transcript1.htm'>here</a>. 10343 Up to the Challenge
