Zoom from a global view of Mars from Viking imagery to the Mars Polar Lander landing site near the south pole of Mars, using a false color inset of MOLA topography data. White colors indicate elevations in excess of 3012 meters, red shows elevations between 2500 and 3012 meters, yellow shows elevations from 2450 to 2500 meters, dark cyan shows elevations from 2150 to 2450 meters, dark violet shows elevations from 320 to 2150 meters. The topography in these images is vertically exaggerated by a factor of 5. 764 Mars Polar Lander Landing Site: Global View to False Color MOLA Inset
The Earth is a complex system with a unique climate. Many scientists are concerned that Earth’s climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. 2005 and 2006 were among the hottest years on record; how will 2007 rank? In January, scientists at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies will release temperature data for 2007. How do scientists study how warm our home planet is, and how do they determine what factors affect its climate? This short video explores the tools NASA scientists use to take Earth’s temperature. <p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10530 Taking Earth's Temperature
This segment provides an introduction to aerosols- their varied sources, brief lifetimes, and erratic behavior. Glory’s APS will help researchers determine the global distribution of aerosol particles. This unique instrument will unravel the microphysical properties of aerosols, and will shed light on the chemical composition of natural and anthropogenic aerosols and clouds. 10525 Hello Crud
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
Space is a harsh environment, and building a space-bound satellite is no small feat! Here’s a look at how NASA engineers get the Glory mission off the ground…and safely into space!<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10522 The Rough Road to Space
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
We know climate change can affect us, but does climate change alter something as vast, deep and mysterious as our oceans? For years, scientists have studied the world's oceans by sending out ships and divers, deploying data-gathering buoys, and by taking aerial measurements from planes. But one of the better ways to understand oceans is to gain an even broader perspective - the view from space. NASA's Earth observing satellites do more than just take pictures of our planet. High-tech sensors gather data, including ocean surface temperature, surface winds, sea level, circulation, and even marine life. Information the satellites obtain help us understand the complex interactions driving the world's oceans today - and gain valuable insight into how the impacts of climate change on oceans might affect us on dry land.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10502 Climate Change and the Global Ocean
NASA remote sensing data is used to measure how much land is used for agriculture and where farms are in relation to population density. This episode explore the transition between native vegetation, farms, and cities. Satellites show where land use changes have been most significant.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10496 Science for a Hungry World: Land Cover Land Use Change
Every day, NASA collects information vital to food production all over the world. This information is a valuable asset. NASA's mission: to give it away for free. With the data they collect, teams of NASA researchers and their partners at the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service, USAID Famine Early Warning Network (FEWS NET), NOAA, and several major universities including the University of Maryland, work to increase crop yields, ease famine, and keep the global agricultural system functioning.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href= 10491 Science For a Hungry World: NASA's Partners
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

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
