Movie   ID   Roles   Title
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 Editor
  The Road to Glory
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 Editor
  The Rough Road to Space
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 Editor
  The Particle Puzzle
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 Editor
  Glory's Suncatcher
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 Editor

  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 Editor
  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 Editor

  Einstein's Cosmic Speed Limit
Water is all around us, and its importance to nearly every natural process on earth cannot be underestimated. The water cycle is the movement of water around the Earth in all its forms, from the ocean to the atmosphere, to snow, soil, aquifers, lakes, and streams on land, and ultimately backs to the ocean. This video explains what the water cycle is and how important it is to life on earth.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10509 Editor
  Water, Water Everywhere!
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 Editor
  Science For a Hungry World: Introduction
Water specialists Rick Allen, Bill Kramber and Tony Morse have created an innovative satellite-based method that maps agricultural water consumption. The team uses Landsat thermal band data to measure the amount of water evaporating from the soil and transpiring from plants' leaves. Evapotranspiring water absorbs energy, so farm fields consuming more water appear cooler in the thermal band. The Landsat observations provide an objective way for water managers to assess on a field-by-field basis how much water agricultural growers are using. Landsat is a joint program of NASA and the US Geological Survey.<p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href=   10484 Editor

  Swift's UV portrait of the Andromeda Galaxy
In this animation, the first image shows an agricultural region in Idaho on August 14, 2000, captured in the visible spectrum. The round, green circles are irrigated farm fields. The second image, using Landsat's thermal band, depicts cooler and warmer areas. Irrigated fields appear cooler because evapotranspiring water absorbs energy and cools the fields. The thermal image dissolves into a map of evapotranspiration, created using the METRIC tool.   3632 Editor

This all-sky movie shows Fermi LAT counts of gamma rays with energies greater than 300 million electron volts from August 4 to October 30, 2008. Brighter colors indicate brighter gamma-ray sources. The circles show the northern (left) and southern galactic sky. Their edges lie along the plane of our galaxy, the Milky Way.   10407 Producer

Arctic sea ice declined this summer to its second smallest extent in the satellite era, suggesting that the record set in 2007 may not have been an anomaly.
