When rain falls from Titan’s methane clouds into its hydrocarbon lakes, it can transport organic molecules like acrylonitrile that are attracted to both water and oil. Such amphiphile molecules are likely to collect in a thin film on the surface of Titan’s lakes. As large raindrops pelt the lakes, they could stir up this floating “pond scum” to form spherical droplets of methane coated in a bilayer of amphiphiles – structures called vesicles that resemble cell membranes on Earth.Although such vesicles have yet to be detected on Titan, a 2025 study by Christian Mayer and NASA scientist Conor Nixon lays out the process for their formation and evolution, and it proposes a mechanism for their discovery by a future mission to Titan. The paper also proposes that different mixtures of amphiphiles could stabilize vesicles and lead to the evolution of simple protocells on Titan. || ", "hits": 355 }, { "id": 5575, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5575/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2025-08-19T11:00:00-04:00", "title": "Powerful Hurricane Erin forms in the Atlantic", "description": "Hurricane Erin on August 16, 2025 at approximately 10:23Z (6:23 EST) east of Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.", "hits": 197 }, { "id": 5569, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5569/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2025-07-11T09:30:59-04:00", "title": "Texas Hill Country Hit by Powerful Floods", "description": "GPM passed over the Texas storm on July 4th, 11am CT.", "hits": 103 }, { "id": 5530, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5530/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2025-05-14T08:00:59-04:00", "title": "Webb Confirms Seasonal Variations in Titan Climate Model", "description": "This global circulation model simulates a year of weather on Titan, depicting seasonal variations in wind currents, methane cloud cover, and sunlight over the course of a Saturn year (approximately 29.5 Earth years).

From this view, one can clearly see the heavy amounts of rain in the center of the storm (depicted in yellow, orange, and red). The GPM data then dissolves away as time speeds up before slowing down again later on that same day. This time GPM captures a much larger swath of the storm. Dissolving in the cutting plane again reveals huge amounts of rainfall at this later time.

The addition of GPM data to the current suite of satellite data is timely. Its predecessor precipitation satellite, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, is 18 years into what was originally a three-year mission. GPM's new high-resolution microwave imager data and the unique radar data ensure that forecasters and modelers won't have a gap in coverage. GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The satellite launched Feb. 27, and after its check-out period began its prime mission on May 29, in time for hurricane season.All GPM data products will be released to the public by September 2, 2104.

On March 10, the Core Observatory passed over an extra-tropical cyclone about 1055 miles (1700 kilometers) due east of Japan's Honshu Island. The storm formed from the collision of a cold front wrapping around a warm front, emerging over the ocean near Okinawa on March 8. It moved northeast over the ocean south of Japan, drawing cold air west-to-east over the land, a typical winter weather pattern that also brought heavy snow over Hokkaido, the northernmost of the four main islands. After the GPM images were taken, the storm continued to move eastward, slowly intensifying before weakening in the central North Pacific.This visualization shows data from the GPM Microwave Imager, which observes different types of precipitation with 13 channels. Scientists analyze that data and then use it to calculate the light to heavy rain rates and falling snow within the storm.For more information on this topic: GPM web siteOther multimedia items related to this story: GPM GMI First Light (#11508) GPM DPR First Light (#11509) || ", "hits": 36 }, { "id": 11489, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11489/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2014-02-26T19:00:00-05:00", "title": "Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Live Shot broll", "description": "NASA scientists talk about the GPM mission ahead of launch. || ", "hits": 26 }, { "id": 11427, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11427/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2013-11-26T14:00:00-05:00", "title": "GPM: Journey to Launch", "description": "An international satellite that will set a new standard for global precipitation measurements from space has completed a 7,300-mile journey from the United States to Japan, where it now will undergo launch preparations.A U.S. Air Force C-5 transport aircraft carrying the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory landed at Kitakyushu Airport, about 600 miles southwest of Tokyo, at approximately 10:30 p.m. EST Saturday, Nov. 23.The spacecraft, the size of a small private jet, is the largest satellite ever built at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.

Rainfall is essential for life across Earth’s landscapes. In addition to moving tremendous amounts of water through Earth’s atmosphere, rain clouds also move tremendous amounts of energy. When water evaporates from the surface and rises as vapor into the atmosphere, it carries heat from the sun-warmed surface with it. Later, when the water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets and rain, the heat is released into the atmosphere. This heating is a major part of Earth's energy budget and climate. These maps show monthly total rainfall amounts in millimeters from January 1998 to the present, derived using data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, which is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. High rain totals are represented as blue shades, while little to no rainfall totals are shown in white. TRMM measures rainfall in the tropics. High-latitude regions, where TRMM does not record rainfall, are gray. The most obvious pattern in these total rainfall maps is seasonal change.

Temperatures in Moscow soared to an average of 104 °F (40 °C) during late July and early August — more than 18 °F (10 °C) above normal. Hundreds of fires broke out producing some $15 million in damages. The heat and smoke killed about 56,000 people, making the Russian wildfires fires one of the most lethal natural disasters of the year.Meanwhile, some 930 kilometers (1,500 miles) away, relentless rainfall was simultaneously pounding Pakistan and generating intense flooding. The Pakistan Meteorological Department reported nationwide rain totals 70 percent above normal in July and 102 percent above normal in August.New research conducted by William Lau, an atmospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., suggests the two seemingly disconnected events were actually closely linked.Under normal circumstances, the jet stream pushes weather fronts through Eurasia in four or five days, but something unusual happened in July of 2010. A large-scale, stagnant weather pattern — known as an Omega blocking event — slowed the Rossby wave over Russia and prevented the normal progression of weather systems from west to east.As a result, a large region of high-pressure formed over Russia trapping a hot, dry air mass over the area. As the high lingered, the land surface dried and the normal transfer of moisture from the soil to the atmosphere slowed. Precipitation ceased, vegetation dried out, and the region became a taiga tinderbox.Meanwhile, the blocking pattern created unusual downstream wind patterns over Pakistan. Areas of low pressure on the leading edge of the Rossby wave formed in response to the high, pulling cold, dry Siberian air into lower latitudes.This cold air from Siberia clashed with warm, moist air arriving over Pakistan from the Bay of Bengal as part of the monsoon. There's nothing unusual about moisture moving north over India toward the Himalayas. It's a normal part of the monsoon. However, in this case, the unusual wind patterns associated with the blocking high brought upper level air disturbances farther south than typical, which in effect helped shifted the entire monsoon system north and west.This brought heavy monsoon rains — centered over parts of India — squarely over the northern part of Pakistan, a region ill-prepared to handle large amounts of rain. || ", "hits": 28 }, { "id": 3837, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/3837/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2011-06-13T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Components of the Water Cycle on a Flat Map for Science On a Sphere", "description": "Water regulates climate, predominately storing heat during the day and releasing it at night.
