This map shows the density of black carbon particles—or soot—in the smoke, which can be hazardous for human health.

The data come from @nasagoddard’s GEOS-FP model.

NASA’s Aqua satellite captured the progression of flooding in the Tulare Lake basin from March 2 to April 28.

Flooding in the lakebed is likely to continue into 2024, which will affect residents and farmers in the area. https://go.nasa.gov/3NKKJCH

Seven Earth-sized worlds orbit the TRAPPIST-1 star, ~40 light-years away. @NASAWebb studied the innermost planet and measured its temperature and found little evidence of an atmosphere. These observations bode well for studying the rest of the planets: https://go.nasa.gov/42VAWiu

Have a stellar #HubbleFriday!

This week's image shows the bright star V 372 Orionis, along with a smaller companion star in the upper left.

Both stars call the Orion Nebula home – which is a massive region of starbirth about 1,450 light-years away: https://go.nasa.gov/3DkX6zq

Santa better bundle up. ??

A blast of Arctic air will bring cold conditions to Canada and the central and eastern U.S. This map shows abnormally cold temps (blue) forecasted for Dec. 23 using satellite observations and @nasagoddard's GEOS model.

Honey, I’m home.

In this image, a member of the recovery team captures imagery of @NASA_Orion shortly after it splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California on Dec. 11. The splashdown marked the successful conclusion of the #Artemis I mission.

Embedded Clusters:

These are like a "prequel" to open and globular clusters. As the youngest type of star cluster, they contain newly born and forming stars surrounded by cosmic gas and dust.
