Nasa Earth Observatory

Historically, the Sahara was once covered in vegetation and lakes between 11,000 and 5,000 years ago

On August 8, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) may have documented a record-breaking number of sunspots in a single day, marking a significant event in Solar Cycle 25. These sunspots, which are dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity, play a crucial role in the Sun's behaviour and have a direct impa...

NASA Earth Observatory's orbiting satellite has recorded a picture of a crater named Luna in Gujarat's Kutch region and revealed that recent geochemical analysis found that "it contains the characteristic signatures of a meteorite impact."

Aral Sea was the fourth-largest body of inland water in the world with an area of 68,000 square kilometres. It began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects.

NASA's new X-ray telescope observed the haunting 'bones' of a ghostly cosmic hand 16,000 light-years from Earth for a record 17 days.

The near-Earth Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this CME in September 2012, which traveled over 900 miles per second (1,448 kilometers per second), causing an aurora to appear.

NASA Earth Observatory shared the image of Cyclone Biparjoy by using VIIRS data, GIBS/Worldview, and the Joint Polar Satellite System.

Following Tuesday's partial solar eclipse, the Sun developed what appeared to be a smiley face pattern in its atmosphere. NASA Sun shared the image which showed a face-like pattern made out of black patches against the Sun's otherwise fiery features.

The composite image shows the remains of a supernova which is around 9,000 light-year from Earth, in three bands of X-ray light.

Two strange blue blobs of light shimmering in the Earth's atmosphere were captured by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA's Earth Observatory shared the picture earlier this month.

The signal originated from the direction of the constellation Sagitta, and travelled an estimated 1.9 billion years to reach Earth, NASA said.

American space agency NASA on Sunday captured the moment the Sun emitted a powerful burst of energy into space.

A new baby island has been spotted in the southwest Pacific Ocean hours after an underwater volcano erupted not far from Australia.

NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) telescope has discovered more water on the Moon's surface. The fresh findings of water have been made in the Southern Hemisphere of the Moon. The team have discovered water in the Moretus Crater region, which is close to the Moon's Clavius Crater, where the original findings were made.

Data received from the US space agency NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed some fascinating features of a star, which was likely ejected from its birthplace due to a powerful explosion. The star, Zeta Ophiuchi, has a complicated past and is located some 440 light-years from Earth.
