This amazing timelapse by talented Zoltan Kenwell – InFocus Imagery – was captured in the morning of November 24, 2012, about 30 km east of Bashaw, Alberta, Canada.
"The forecast was looking very promising for a fantastic display. A more or
The twenty-sixth tropical cyclone of the Pacific Tropical Storm season formed in western north Pacific Ocean and it is named as TS BOPHA (TS 26W). Warnings and watches are currently in effect for islands within Micronesia archipelago, thousands islands between
Five sunspot groups were reported today by Catania. Sunspots AR 1618 and AR 1620 have beta-gamma-delta and beta-gamma configurations of their photospheric magnetic field, respectively, and are being closely monitored for further flaring activity. NOAA/SWPC forecasters
Huge dust storm on Mars has spawned changes in the Martian atmosphere. The Martian dust storm was spotted by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) on November 10, 2012 and has been tracked ever since. Opportunity rover recorded a slight drop in atmospheric
Flying over the Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier last year in October, NASA’s Operation IceBridge scientists discovered a massive rift 29 kilometers (18 miles) long, 80 meters (260 feet) wide on average, and 50 to 60 meters (170 to 200 feet) deep. When that

JHelioviewer is visualization software that enables everyone, anywhere to explore the Sun. Developed as part of the ESA/NASA Helioviewer Project, it provides a desktop program that enables users to call up images of the Sun from the past 15 years. Software contains
The passage of an interplanetary shock (CME) was recorded at 21:56 UTC on November 23, 2012. ACE spacecraft measured a geomagnetic sudden impulse of 25nT. The maximum southward component of Bz was -8.8 nT at 21:12 UTC on November 23. The primary Coronal Mass
The Sun is constantly roiling with nuclear heat and intense magnetism that make sunspots, flares, coronal mass ejections, and all sorts of space weather. When directed toward Earth, those solar blasts can disrupt satellite and radio communications, damage our
New visualization from Goddard’s Scientific Visualization Studio shows the moon’s phase and libration throughout the year 2013, at hourly intervals. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization also shows other relevant information, including moon
