Large Summer Ice Loss In The Arctic, With More Melting to Come New NASA Images Show Melting As Summer Heat Bakes The ArcticIt’s been a summer of record temperatures — and even the world’s coldest places have felt the heat. As the high temperatures bake the Arctic, the Greenland ice sheet is experiencing extreme levels of ice loss. Ice on the sea surrounding the Arctic also continues to retreat. Chat with NASA scientists on Friday, Sept. 6 from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST to find out how the latest heatwave in Europe may impact the Arctic and how these dramatic changes in the Arctic can affect you. Arctic ice both on land and sea are melting at a rapid rate, and newer ice isn s important.

Celebrate Earth Day With NASAUse the hashtag #PictureEarth and share the beauty of EarthWhen you think of NASA you might be picturing astronauts, images of Jupiter and far-away galaxies, basically everything beyond our planet. But did you know that one of NASA’s biggest fields of study is our home, Earth?Of all the planets that NASA studies, none have matched the complexity of Earth. For 50 years, NASA has been sharing images of Earth that have changed our views of the planet. From the deep blue oceans to the many colors of the aurora and Earth’s vast landscapes.This Earth Day, NASA invites you to celebrate the planet we call home with a world-wide #PictureEarth social media event. Take a photo of the nature around you and share it on your social media accounts using the hashtag #PictureEarth.Join NASA scientists on 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 19 to find out how your viewers can join the fun and learn more about our interesting/unique/strange home.NASA has a fleet of satellites that are regularly collecting data to help us better understand and admire this little blue strange and mysterious planet. For more information about #PictureEarth, click HERE.*** To schedule an interview, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/JpFZdyjTtF1DnZ8i7 ***Location: NASA s Goddard Space Flight Center/ Greenbelt, MDsuggested questions1. Why do we study Earth? What makes it different from other planets?2. Can you talk about the different ways that NASA observes our planet from space?3. NASA also observes Earth from the ground. Can you talk about some of your field and airborne campaigns?4. How can our viewers participate in #PictureEarth? 5. Where can we learn more about our little blue planet?satellite coordinatesHD Satellite Coordinates for G17-K18/Lower: Galaxy 17 Ku-band Xp 18 Slot Lower| 91.0 ° W Longitude | DL 12051.0 MHz | Vertical Polarity | QPSK/DVB-S | FEC 3/4 | SR 13.235 Mbps | DR 18.2954 MHz | HD 720p | Format MPEG2 | Chroma Level 4:2:0 | Audio Embedded ** Questions??

Every year, sea ice fluctuates through the seasons, growing in the winter and shrinking in the summer. This year, Arctic sea ice reached its annual maximum March 13, 2019. It wasn’t a record low, but it continued a trend of declining sea ice maximums and minimums. Music: Ambience by Axel Coon [GEMA], Ralf Goebel [GEMA]
