During that time, the spacecraft gathered information about Bennu’s size, shape, mass, and composition while monitoring its spin and orbital trajectory. Before leaving the near-Earth object May 10, 2021, the spacecraft scooped up a sample of rock and dust from the asteroid’s surface. OSIRIS-REx will return the sample to Earth Sept. 24, 2023, for further scientific study.The teleconference will stream live online at: http://www.nasa.gov/liveParticipants in the briefing will be:•Dante Lauretta, study co-author and OSIRIS-REx principal investigator at the University of Arizona in Tucson•Davide Farnocchia, study lead author and scientist with the Center for Near Earth Object Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California•Jason Dworkin, OSIRIS-REx project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland•Lindley Johnson, planetary defense officer at NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office at NASA Headquarters in WashingtonFor more information about the OSIRIS-REx mission to Bennu, visit: https://www.nasa.gov/osiris-rexLearn more about asteroid Bennu’s updated impact hazard.Read the science paper on Icarus. || ",

            "description": "Launched on January 17, 2016, Jason-3 is a partnership that includes NOAA, NASA, CNES, and EUMETSAT. After launch, Jason-3 was maneuvered into orbit about 80 seconds behind Jason-2, where it collected data at essentially the same time and place. It will stay in this tandem orbit for about six months while scientists and engineers take a careful look at any differences between Jason-2 and Jason-3. The map shown here was generated using sea surface height measurements from the first 10 days (February 12-20, 2016) of data collected once Jason-3 reached its operational orbit of 830 miles (1336 kilometers). The map corresponds well to data from its predecessor, Jason-2. Higher-than-normal sea levels are red; lower-than-normal sea levels are blue. El Niño is visible as the red blob in the eastern equatorial Pacific. After that, Jason-2 will move to an interleaved orbit (ground tracks halfway between those of Jason-3) where the two missions collectively will provide double the observational coverage of the global ocean. Extending the timeline of ocean surface topography measurements begun by the Topex/Poseidon and Jason-1 and Jason-2 satellites; Jason-3 will make highly detailed measurements of sea-level on Earth to monitor climate change and track phenomena like El Niño. It will also enable more accurate weather, ocean, and climate forecasts, including helping global weather and environmental agencies more accurately forecast the strength of tropical cyclones. || ",

            "description": "Tiny particles suspended in the air, known as aerosols, can darken snow and ice causing it to absorb more of the sun’s energy. But until recently, scientists rarely considered the effect of all three major types of light-absorbing aerosols together in climate models.In a new study, NASA scientists used a climate model to examine the impact of this snow-darkening phenomenon on Northern Hemisphere snowpacks, including how it affects snow amount and heating on the ground in spring.The study looked at three types of light-absorbing aerosols – dust, black carbon and organic carbon. Black carbon and organic carbon are produced from the burning of fossil fuels, like coal and oil, as well as biofuels and biomass, such as forests.With their snow darkening effect added to NASA’s GEOS-5 climate model, scientists analyzed results from 2002 to 2011, and compared them to model runs done without the aerosols on snow. They found that the aerosols indeed played a role in absorbing more of the sun’s energy. Over broad places in the Northern Hemisphere, the darkened snow caused some surface temperatures to be up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would be if the snow were pristine. As a result, warmer, snow-darkened areas had less snow in spring than they would have had under pristine snow conditions.According to the study, dust’s snow darkening effect significantly contributed to surface warming in Central Asia and the western Himalayas. Black carbon’s snow darkening effect had a larger impact primarily in Europe, the eastern Himalayas and East Asia. It had a smaller impact in North America. Organic carbon’s snow darkening effect was relatively lower but present in regions such as southeastern Siberia, northeastern East Asia and western Canada.“As we add more of these aerosols to the mix, we are potentially increasing our overall impact on Earth’s climate,” said research scientist Teppei Yasunari at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.Research: Impact of snow darkening via dust, black carbon, and organic carbon on boreal spring climate in the Earth systemJournal: Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, June 15, 2015.Link to paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014JD022977/fullHere is the YouTube video. || ",

            "description": "Launched in 1978, Seasat was the first NASA Earth-orbiting satellite mission designed to observe the world’s ocean. Seasat carried five major instruments, including a radar altimeter that measured the distance between the satellite and sea surface, indicating global sea surface height and the topography of the ocean surface. This visualization shows the progression of improved data resolution from satellite altimeters in the past, present, and future, beginning with 1.5-degree resolution data in 1978 from Seasat and ending with 0.05-degree resolution data from NASA’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, planned to launch in 2020. A single satellite (Geosat) provided 0.5-degree resolution data from 1986 to 1990, while numerous international satellite missions (ERS-1, TOPEX/Poseidon, ERS-2, Jason-1, Envisat, and Jason-2) have provided 0.25-degree resolution data from 1992 until now. These measurements and their continuity are important for monitoring large-scale features such as Rossby and Kelvin waves, the evolution of El Niño and La Niña events, and variation of global sea level in relation to climate change. SWOT (with 0.05-degree-resolution) will offer an unprecedented combination of spatial and temporal resolution while continuing and extending the ocean altimeter data record for years to come. || ",

            "description": "Ocean tide gauges have been used for more than a century to measure sea surface height at specific locations around the globe. Today, scientists combine data from ocean tide gauges with global observations of sea surface height from satellite radar altimeters to detect patterns and monitor changes in ocean height. Currently, NASA’s OSTM/Jason-2 mission—a continuation of the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason missions—measures the height of the sea surface with an accuracy of about 3 centimeters (just over 1 inch) relative to the center of the Earth. These highly accurate measurements of the height of the sea surface (commonly called “sea level”) are needed to provide long-term information about the world's ocean and its currents. In this visualization, sea surface height anomalies derived from ocean tide gauge data (before 1992) and satellite altimeter data (after 1992) show differences above and below normally observed sea surface heights from 1950 to 2009. These data help show how much heat is stored in the ocean. For example, El Niño events (characterized by warm water and high sea surface height anomalies in the Eastern Pacific) are visible in 1957, 1965, 1972, 1982, 1987, and 1997 along the Equator. Sea surface height data also have many other applications, such as in fisheries management, navigation, and offshore operations. || ",

In this visualization, sea surface height anomalies derived from satellite altimeter data show differences above and below normally observed sea surface heights from 1992 to 2011. Blue shades indicate areas where sea surface height is lower than normal, while red shades indicate areas where sea surface height is higher than normal. Swirling currents called eddies pepper the scene and can be found in every major ocean basin. Near the Equator, ocean eddies give way to fast moving features called Kelvin waves. When they build up in the Pacific, these waves can usher in a phenomenon known as El Niño, which happens when warm water and high sea levels move into the Eastern Pacific along the Equator. Occurring roughly every 3-4 years, El Niño events can have a big impact on weather across the globe, bringing extra rainfall to the American Southwest and even affecting hurricanes in the Atlantic Oceans. Sea surface height data also have many other applications, such as in fisheries management, navigation, and offshore operations. || ",
