NASA Rockets Create Artificial Clouds Under Northern Lights in Norway
On November 10, 2024, NASA conducted a rocket launch in Norway that resulted in swirling artificial clouds beneath the aurora borealis. The experiment aimed to study energy flow through Earth’s atmosphere and observe how gravity waves behave. The launch occurred from Andøya Space Center, located in the Arctic Circle, offering ideal conditions fo...

NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment Captures Gravity Waves From Hurricane Helene in Florida
On September 26, NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) captured atmospheric gravity waves caused by Hurricane Helene’s powerful landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast. These waves, observed as concentric ripples extending from Florida, highlight NASA’s efforts to understand how terrestrial weather can impact space weather and disrupt commu...
