That dazzling streak of light across Los Angeles’ twilight sky around 7:30 p.m. on Monday was Space X’s Falcon 9 carrying 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Earthlings from Southern California to Phoenix were treated to a spectacular, albiet brief, show as night fell and the light illuminated the sky, followed by a contrail that slowly dissipated. But the images quickly flooded social media, and “SpaceX” became a trending topic on the social media site X, where users posted their shots…

Charles Lloyd is the last man standing of an inspired 1950s American saxophone generation, which included his late friends and contemporaries John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, and the now-retired Sonny Rollins. He once recalled to the Guardian that the free-jazz visionary Coleman had told him in 1956: “Man, you sure can play the saxophone, but that don’t have a lot to do with music.” Lloyd has been searching the world’s songs for the heartfelt secrets beyond technique ever since, and his voice-like sound and intuitive…

Earlier this year, NASA's Terra satellite was zipping over the Gulf of Mexico when one of its instruments snapped a photo of some odd-looking clouds.The clouds looked like someone had taken a hole punch to the sky.This unusual phenomenon isn't new. Researchers have been documenting it since the 1940s, according to NASA. But it wasn't until about 15 years ago that scientists finally found an explanation.The features are officially called cavum clouds, but are sometimes nicknamed hole-punch clouds or fallstreak holes.…

Elon Musk's SpaceX has announced it will dispose of 100 Starlink satellites over the next six months, after it discovered a design flaw that may cause them to fail. Rather than risk posing a threat to other spacecraft, SpaceX will "de-orbit" these satellites to burn up in the atmosphere.But atmospheric scientists are increasingly concerned that this sort of apparent fly-tipping by the space sector will cause further climate change down on Earth.One team recently, and unexpectedly, found potential ozone-depleting metals…

Radar image of the satellite ERS-2 from February 19, 2024: Solar module intact. Credit: Fraunhofer FHRThe European Space Agency (ESA) and the joint Space Situational Awareness Centre commissioned Fraunhofer FHR to accompany the re-entry of the retired ERS-2 satellite. With its unique space observation radar TIRA (Tracking and Imaging Radar), the final orbits were measured with high precision and the last images of ERS-2 were generated. For the first time, changes in the structure during re-entry were captured in…

The FY-3G satellite, launched by China’s Meteorological Administration, represents a significant advancement in measuring global precipitation from space. By capturing precise data on the occurrence, type, and intensity of precipitation worldwide, including over oceans and complex terrain, the satellite enhances our understanding of Earth’s water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles. Credit: Dr. Peng Zhang, National Satellite Meteorological CenterMeasuring the precise quantity of rainfall in a particular area is…

Rivers of intense moisture wend their way through our atmosphere just as their liquid counterparts do across the land. Unfortunately the sky streams are much harder for us to see.Often a product of cyclones, atmospheric rivers can dictate where intense rain will fall, making their lack of visibility a problem. Understanding them grows increasingly important as our warming atmosphere soaks up even greater amounts of water, forcing these aerial waterways to change course.Until now, researchers relied on computer modeling…
