It took the satellite 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth’s land surface and islands. This new data was then mapped over existing MODIS Blue Marble imagery to provide a realistic view of the planet. The view was made possible by the “day-night band” of Suomi NPP’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite. VIIRS detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses “smart” light sensors to observe dim signals such as city lights, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight.

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon’s shadow falls on the Earth, while a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon.Eclipses can only happen at New and Full Moon, when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are all in a straight line. But they don’t happen every New and Full Moon, because the Moon’s orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees. As the Earth and Moon travel around the Sun, the tilt of the Moon’s orbit changes direction relative to the Sun.This is analogous to the way the tilt of the Earth causes seasons. Just like winter and summer happen every six months, eclipses tend to occur on a roughly six-month cycle.Unlike most eclipse shadow diagrams, the first three animations here don’t greatly exaggerate the scale of the Earth and Moon. They are only 2x their true scale. The view is exactly perpendicular to the Earth-Sun line. The angle of the Moon’s orbital tilt and the “tapering” of the shadows are both accurate.

The global atmospheric simulation ran at a resolution of 5-km per grid cell and covered a period from Feb 2, 2010 through Feb 22, 2010. The results of the simulation were written out at 30 minute intervals. This is a high-resolution non-hydrostatic global model.This visualization was created for display on the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) hyperwall. This is a set of tiled high definition displays consisting of 5 displays across by 3 displays down. The full resolution of all combined displays is 6840 pixels accross by 2304 pixels down. This movie was rendered at this high resolution, then diced up into images to be displayed on each screen.A similar, lower resolution visualization is available in entry #3724.

By the year 2000, the frontier had reached the remote northwest corner of Rondônia. Intact forest is deep green, while cleared areas are tan (bare ground) or light green (crops, pastures). Deforestation follows a predictable pattern in these images. The first clearings appear in a fishbone pattern, arrayed along the edges of roads. Over time, the fishbones collapse into a mixture of forest remnants, cleared areas, and settlements. This pattern is common in the Amazon. Legal and illegal roads penetrate a remote part of the forest, and small farmers migrate to the area. They claim land along the road and clear some of it for crops. Within a few years, heavy rains and erosion deplete the soil, and crop yields fall. Farmers then convert the degraded land to cattle pasture, and clear more forest for crops. || ", "release_date": "2013-10-17T12:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-11-17T23:35:44.733584-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 428896, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a030000/a030100/a030166/woc_AmazonDeforestation.0.png", "filename": "woc_AmazonDeforestation.0.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "MODIS images of Amazon deforestation in Rondônia from 2000 to 2010.", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } } }, { "id": 412236, "type": "details_page", "extra_data": null, "instance": { "id": 31176, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31176/", "page_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "title": "Two Decades of Soil Moisture from Space", "description": "GRACE soil moisture over the continental United States", "release_date": "2025-02-10T00:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2026-02-20T11:55:56.744100-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 1202056, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a030000/a031100/a031176/GRACE_US_7D_RTZSM_GWS_040_20251124.png", "filename": "GRACE_US_7D_RTZSM_GWS_040_20251124.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Root zone soil moisture compared to shallow groundwater", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } } }, { "id": 412237, "type": "details_page", "extra_data": null, "instance": { "id": 5014, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5014/", "page_type": "Visualization", "title": "Drought in the Horn of Africa", "description": "According to a July 29 2022 report from the International Food Security and Nutrition Working Group, the worst drought conditions in 70 years across the Horn of Africa have more than 16 million people coping with a shortage of drinking water.

This image series, created with data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard NASA’s Terra satellite, shows the region from 2000 to 2010. By the year 2000, the frontier had reached the remote northwest corner of Rondônia. Intact forest is deep green, while cleared areas are tan (bare ground) or light green (crops, pastures). Deforestation follows a predictable pattern in these images. The first clearings appear in a fishbone pattern, arrayed along the edges of roads. Over time, the fishbones collapse into a mixture of forest remnants, cleared areas, and settlements. This pattern is common in the Amazon. Legal and illegal roads penetrate a remote part of the forest, and small farmers migrate to the area. They claim land along the road and clear some of it for crops. Within a few years, heavy rains and erosion deplete the soil, and crop yields fall. Farmers then convert the degraded land to cattle pasture, and clear more forest for crops. || ", "release_date": "2013-10-17T12:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-11-17T23:35:44.733584-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 428896, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a030000/a030100/a030166/woc_AmazonDeforestation.0.png", "filename": "woc_AmazonDeforestation.0.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "MODIS images of Amazon deforestation in Rondônia from 2000 to 2010.", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } } }, { "id": 412248, "type": "details_page", "extra_data": null, "instance": { "id": 31176, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31176/", "page_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "title": "Two Decades of Soil Moisture from Space", "description": "GRACE soil moisture over the continental United States", "release_date": "2025-02-10T00:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2026-02-20T11:55:56.744100-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 1202056, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a030000/a031100/a031176/GRACE_US_7D_RTZSM_GWS_040_20251124.png", "filename": "GRACE_US_7D_RTZSM_GWS_040_20251124.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Root zone soil moisture compared to shallow groundwater", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } } }, { "id": 412249, "type": "details_page", "extra_data": null, "instance": { "id": 4785, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4785/", "page_type": "Visualization", "title": "Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies and Patterns of Global Disease Outbreaks: 2009-2018 (4K version)", "description": "This webpage provides the 4K version of: Sea Surface Temperature anomalies and patterns of Global Disease Outbreaks: 2009-2018 (updated), released on January 6, 2020.Content has been created for 4K display systems that can handle finer resolution and details.

However, individual weather events and La Niña — a pattern of cooler waters in the Pacific that was responsible for slightly cooling 2021’s average temperature — can affect individual years.Because the record is global, not every place on Earth experienced the sixth warmest year on record.

We start with data from floating, scientific buoys that NOAA has been distributing in the oceans for the last 35-year represented here as white dots. Let's speed up time to see where the buoys go... Since new buoys are continually released, it's hard to tell where older buoys move to. Let's clear the map and add the starting locations of all the buoys... Interesting patterns appear all over the place. Lines of buoys are due to ships and planes that released buoys periodically. If we let all of the buoys go at the same time, we can observe buoy migration patterns. The number of buoys decreases because some buoys don't last as long as others. The buoys migrate to 5 known gyres also called ocean garbage patches.We can also see this in a computational model of ocean currents called ECCO-2. We release particles evenly around the world and let the modeled currents carry the particles. The particles from the model also migrate to the garbage patches. Even though the retimed buoys and modeled particles did not react to currents at the same times, the fact that the data tend to accumulate in the same regions show how robust the result is.The dataset used for the ocean buoy visualization is the Global Drifter Database from the GDP Drifter Data Assembly Center, part of the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory. The data covered the period February 1979 through September 2013. Although the actual dataset has a wealth of data, including surface temperatures, salinities, etc., only the buoy positions were used in the visualization.This visualization was accepted as one of the \"Dailies\" at SIGGRAPH 2015. || ", "release_date": "2015-08-10T00:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2025-02-02T22:15:00.181660-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 454829, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a004100/a004174/driftersOnly_originalTiming.05600_print.jpg", "filename": "driftersOnly_originalTiming.05600_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "The NOAA drifter buoys had been released at various times and locations around the world.
