Iran’s Folded Rocks Reveal Ancient Tectonic Power at Asia-Europe Boundary
Iran’s Zagros Mountains showcase tightly folded rock layers caused by the slow-motion collision of the Arabian and Eurasian plates. Visible from space, these dramatic geological structures reveal the raw power of continental tectonics and provide scientists with valuable insights into mountain formation, seismic activity, and Earth’s ongoing st...

Rocket Lab Deploys Eight Satellites to Boost Global Wildfire Monitoring
Rocket Lab successfully launched eight satellites into orbit for OroraTech on March 26. The mission, "Finding Hot Wildfires Near You," aims to improve real-time wildfire detection through thermal infrared imaging. The satellites will join OroraTech’s existing network, operating at a 97-degree inclination, 550 km above Earth. CEO Martin Langer hig...

Partial Solar Eclipse of March 2025: Satellite Images to Show Moon’s Shadow
A partial solar eclipse will take place on March 29, 2025, visible across parts of Europe, Africa, and North America. The event will reach its peak in Nunavik, Canada, where 94% of the sun will be covered at sunrise. From space, weather satellites like GOES-16 and Himawari will capture images of the moon’s shadow. The International Space Station ...

NASA’s EZIE Satellites Begin Mission to Study Auroral Electrojets and Space Weather
NASA’s Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission has been launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The trio of small satellites will map auroral electrojets, powerful currents in Earth’s atmosphere linked to solar storms. Their data will enhance space weather prediction models and help understand planetary mag...

Satellite Captures Svalbard Bear Island's Rare Cloud Formations and Algal Bloom
A 2023 satellite image captured algal bloom and atmospheric vortices near Bear Island in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. The algal bloom, stretching 400 kilometres, formed vibrant spirals due to ocean currents. Atmospheric vortices, caused by airflow disruption over Miseryfjellet mountain, mirrored these patterns in the sky. Bear Island’s radioa...

Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...
