What has NASA done for you lately? We've contributed more than $75 billion in economic output, supported over 300,000 jobs, and provided benefits to all 50 states (and the District of Columbia) in fiscal year 2023. Get the receipts:
Did you know that some Earth-size exoplanets may have active volcanoes?
Using a

Daily average global temperatures from MERRA-2 (a climate analysis that uses the best quality observations) are white (1980-2022), pink (2023), & red (2024 through June). Values from July 1-23 from GEOS-FP (a rapid near real-time weather analysis) are purple.
July 22, 2024 was the hottest day on record. Average global temperatures for July 21 & 23 also exceeded the previous record.
The preliminary finding comes from
@NASA
atmospheric models that combine millions of land, sea, air & satellite observations.
Supercomputers β the fastest class of computers on Earth β run quadrillions of calculations per second for
#NASA
missions. At the
#Olympics
naturally we love the fastest humans on Earth, so we would run in the 100-meter dash!
Tomorrow, July 20, marks the 55th anniversary of the
#Apollo11
landing, when humans walked on another world for the first time.
Computational explorers have been studying the Moon using data from
#NASA
spacecraft and will continue that quest along with
#Artemis
astronauts.

How many aura points do we gain for a satelliteβs 20th birthday?
This week,
@NASA
βs Aura satellite is celebrating 20 years of monitoring air quality, ozone, and more in Earthβs atmosphere.
The last 12 months have each set record high temperatures for their respective month β an unprecedented streak,
@nasagiss
scientists say.
The records are part of a long-term warming trend driven by human activities, especially greenhouse gas emissions.
Among the most devastating events in nature are Bay of Bengal tropical cyclones like Nargis.
