Satellite Data

A new study from Colorado State University indicates that western boundary currents, such as the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio, have a more significant role in local climate variability than previously thought. By analysing satellite data and sea surface temperature fluctuations, researchers James Larson, David Thompson, and James Hurrell found that the...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, a joint mission by NASA and France’s CNES, has observed a significant tsunami event in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord. Triggered by a massive rockslide in September 2023, the tsunami lasted for nine days and generated seismic signals recorded globally. The satellite's advanced radar technology...

NOAA's new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), mounted on the GOES-19 satellite, has captured its first images of a solar storm. Launched on June 25, 2024, the satellite provides crucial data on coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun. Unlike ground-based instruments, CCOR-1 offers uninterrupted views of the solar corona, aiding in early warnings of p...

The NISAR Mission 2025, a joint effort between NASA and ISRO, aims to observe Earth's surface, ecosystems, and track environmental changes. The satellite will use cutting-edge radar technology to collect data on biomass, natural disasters, and sea-level rise. Scheduled to launch in 2025, NISAR will be a vital tool for global climate and ecosystem m...

Meteorologists and emergency management officials are monitoring satellite data to track Milton's trajectory and intensity.

On October 7, 2024, sunspot AR 3842 released another powerful X2.1 solar flare, causing significant radio blackouts across North and South America, as well as over the Pacific Ocean. This is the second major flare from AR 3842 after it previously unleashed the most intense solar flare in seven years. Scientists from NOAA are currently analysing dat...

Stubble burning in Punjab, shows data, has been lowest in the last three years.

Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

In a direct address to the people of Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a clear and forceful message on Monday.

Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based Shia militant group has lost its chief in Israeli air strikes in the capital Beirut. The Israel Defence Forces have moved the conflict north and have vowed to uproot Hezbollah's political and military arsenal.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch a unique satellite in 2027, designed specifically to study how satellites break apart upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere. This mission, named DRACO (Destructive Reentry Assessment Container Object), will be an important step in ESA's effort to develop technology that limits the creation of sp...

The sinking is due to the multi-stage lithospheric dripping — a phenomenon named for the instability of rocky material that creates the crust and upper mantle of the Earth

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recently announced the start of operations for its Electro Optical-Infrared (EOIR) payload placed inside the EOS-08 Earth Observation Satellite. The satellite was launched on the space agency's Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) on August 16. The main goal of this mission is to improve India's therma...

The European Space Agency (ESA) is concluding the Cluster mission, with the first of four satellites safely reentering Earth's atmosphere. This marks the end of a mission that has provided 24 years of valuable space data. In January, the satellite's orbit was adjusted to ensure its reentry would target an uninhabited area, reducing risks for humans...

The European Space Agency (ESA) will witness a rare event as the first of four Cluster satellites, named "Salsa", re-enters Earth's atmosphere on September 8. This satellite, launched as part of ESA's Cluster mission, will burn up in an uncontrolled yet targeted reentry over a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean. The event presents a unique oppo...
