NASA Astronauts And Satellites Capture Breathtaking Images Of An Awakening Volcano From Space

“Volcanoes are some of the most fascinating but also dangerous and deadly natural disasters. Fortunately, with appropriate monitoring, they’re one of the most easily mitigated classes of disasters as well. There are approximately 1,500 potentially active volcanoes on Earth at any time, which doesn’t include undersea volcanoes that have not reached the surface or inactive ones that might surprise us.

Only by continuously monitoring the entire Earth at the appropriate resolutions and cadences can we hope to truly minimize the risk to human life and property. Attempts to cut back on this endeavor harm and endanger us all, while an awareness and appreciation for what Earth observing brings us is our greatest asset. May the beauty of these pictures point the way to the most important truth: that comprehensive knowledge and more information are absolutely key to optimally navigating the challenges of being human on our living planet Earth.”

Just a few days ago, on June 22, 2019, a volcano that hadn’t erupted in nearly a century suddenly sprang to life, belching out waves of ash and volcanic gas high into the stratosphere and posing severe threats to nearby life. But far more at-risk were airplanes, which routinely fly through the region where volcanic ash particles were spewed by this eruption. Due to our full suite of Earth observatories, with an assist from astronauts aboard the International Space Station and ground-based monitoring, we were able to minimize the danger and avoid significant damage. Without NASA’s commitment to Earth monitoring, a commitment that’s continually fighting off attempted cuts, mitigating the risks of volcanic eruptions would be hamstrung by humanity’s greatest danger: willful ignorance.

Come take a look at the spectacular story of the recent eruption of Raikoke volcano, and learn why Earth observing is so important in the process!

How NASA Earth Data Aids America

Today we roll out a new communications project that highlights some of the many ways that NASA’s Earth observations help people strengthen communities across the United States.

Space for U.S. features stories on how Earth science data is used to make informed decisions about public health, disaster response and recovery and environmental protection. By highlighting advanced technology from a global perspective, our data helps provide people achieve groundbreaking insights.

For example, a family-owned coffee company in Maine used our sunlight, wind and temperature data to determine the placement of their power-generating solar wall.

Space for U.S. features 56 stories illustrating how our science has made an impact in every state in the nation as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and regions along the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes.

For six decades, we’ve used the vantage point of space to better understand our home planet and improve lives. Using Space for U.S., you can browse through stories about how applied Earth science either by state or by topics such as animals, disasters, energy, health, land and water. Each click brings you a story about how people are putting NASA data to work.

Explore the true stories behind the innovative technology, groundbreaking insights, and extraordinary collaboration happening right here in the United States with Space for U.S.

Here’s Why Black Holes Are Crullers, Not Donuts

“Just a few years ago, we didn’t even know whether it was a certainty that black holes had an event horizon, as we’d never observed one directly. In 2017, a series of observations were finally taken that could settle the issue. After a wait of two years, the first direct image of a black hole was released, and it showed us that the event horizon was, in fact, real as predicted, and that its properties agreed with Einstein’s predictions.

Now, another two years later, the polarization data has been added into the fold, and we can now reconstruct the magnetic properties of the plasma surrounding the black hole, along with how those features are imprinted onto the emitted photons. We still only have the one black hole that’s been directly imaged, but we can see how the light, the polarization, and the magnetic properties of the plasma surrounding the event horizon all change over time.”

You’ve seen the photo, but have you learned the science? Black holes are crullers, not donuts, and magnetized plasma is the reason why.

Ask Ethan: Why Are There Only Three Generations Of Particles?

“It is eminently possible that there are more particles out there than the Standard Model, as we know it, presently predicts. In fact, given all the components of the Universe that aren’t accounted for in the Standard Model, from dark matter to dark energy to inflation to the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry, it’s practically unreasonable to conclude that there aren’t additional particles.

But if the additional particles fit into the structure of the Standard Model as an additional generation, there are tremendous constraints. They could not have been created in great abundance during the early Universe. None of them can be less massive than 45.6 GeV/c^2. And they could not imprint an observable signature on the cosmic microwave background or in the abundance of the light elements.

Experimental results are the way we learn about the Universe, but the way those results fit into our most successful theoretical frameworks is how we conclude what else does and doesn’t exist in our Universe. Unless a future accelerator result surprises us tremendously, three generations is all we get: no more, no less, and nobody knows why.”

There are three generations of (fermionic) particles in the Universe. In addition to the lightest quarks (up and down), the electron and positron, and the electron neutrino and anti-neutrino, there are two extra, heavy “copies” of this structure. The charm-and-strange quarks plus the top-and-bottom quarks fill the remaining generations of quarks, while the muon and muon neutrino and anti-neutrino plus the tau and tau neutrino and anti-neutrino comprise the next generation of leptons.

Theoretically, there’s nothing demanding three and only three generations, but experiments have shown that there are no more to within absurd constraints. Here’s the full story of how we know there are only three generations.

Pulsar planets are planets that are found orbiting pulsars, or rapidly rotating neutron stars. The first such planet to be discovered was around a millisecond pulsar and was the first extrasolar planet to be confirmed as discovered.
