Concentrations of chlorophyll in the equatorial Pacific deviate from normal during El Niño events. These maps depict monthly average chlorophyll concentrations for June 2025 (top), under neutral conditions, and June 2026 (bottom), as El Niño was strengthening. Data come from the OCI (Ocean Color Instrument) on NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite and are based on measurements of green

The recently constructed Green River Energy Center, seen in the top Landsat 8 image collected on June 6, 2026, features nearly one million solar panels and roughly 500 batteries on several square miles of previously undeveloped land. The facility has 400 megawatts of solar-generating capacity with another 400 megawatts of battery storage.   For comparison, the same sensor captured

A unique pairing of ESA’s Sentinel-1 satellites is providing scientists with one of the most detailed views ever assembled of Antarctic ice movement, allowing researchers to compare nearly three decades of glacier flow and ice-sheet dynamics. The new observations improve understanding of how Antarctica is responding to a changing climate and how ice loss may

Scientists are closely monitoring the return of El Niño conditions as warming sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific begin influencing weather patterns around the world. New satellite observations provide an increasingly detailed view of changes occurring across the Pacific Ocean, offering researchers valuable information for seasonal forecasting.  Earth-observation satellites measure sea-surface temperatures, cloud development, rainfall
