ESA launches EarthCARE satellite to study the impact of clouds on #ClimateChange
The #EarthCARE satellite - a collaboration between #ESA and Japanese space agency #JAXA - will study how the formation of #clouds and the density of #aerosols in the #atmosphere impact the Earth's temperature.
More media attention to the prospect that rapidly increasing human activity will drastically alter the space environment. "How could we possibly think that burning trash in our atmosphere 24/7 is going to be fine?"
The giant planet #Jupiter, in all its banded glory, is revisited by the #HubbleSpaceTelescope in these latest images, taken on 5–6 January 2024, that capture both sides of the planet. Hubble monitors Jupiter and the other outer Solar System planets every year under the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy programme (OPAL).
Une nouvelle discipline, l’aéromicrobiologie, s’attaque à l’étude des milliards de microbes en suspension dans l’#atmosphère terrestre et de leur influence sur la santé, l’agriculture, la météo ou les écosystèmes.
