The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) Earth-observing radar satellite’s first images of our planet’s surface are in, and they offer a glimpse of things to come as the joint mission between NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) approaches full science operations later this year. “Launched under President Trump in conjunction with India, NISAR’s first images are a testament to …

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s first radar images from a new Earth-mapping satellite show the Maine coast and North Dakota farmland in incredible detail. The pictures, released Thursday, are from a spacecraft that rocketed into orbit from India two months ago. The joint U.S.-Indian mission, worth $1.3 billion, will survey virtually all of the world’s land and ice masses …

Over the next four decades, aerial images documented the steady, eastward retreat of both the Alsek Glacier and another ice mass to the south called the Grand Plateau Glacier. As both glaciers melted, Alsek Lake grew significantly, filling in the void left by the Grand Plateau Glacier and gradually overtaking the ice that once surrounded Prow Knob. This summer, NASA’s …

A website announces, “Free celebrity wallpaper!” You browse the images. There’s Selena Gomez, Rihanna and Timothée Chalamet — but you settle on Taylor Swift.

You also recently downloaded a new artificial-intelligence-powered agent, so you ask it …

So it was the early astronauts that kind of drove the desire to take cameras themselves, but they were quite basic. Wally Schirra (Mercury-Atlas 8) then took the first Hasselblad. He wanted medium format, better quality, but really, the photographs from Mercury aren’t as stunning as Gemini. It’s partly the windows and the way they took the photos, and they’d …

The birth of an island is normally a process that requires the movement of vast tectonic plates over centuries, if not millennia. But in Alaska, a new island has popped up in just four decades. The two-square-mile (five sq km) landmass, known as Prow Knob, was once entirely surrounded by the deep ice of the Alsek Glacier. But NASA has revealed …

Global warming is a tricksy beast. In some places, it’s transforming once-lush environments into barren deserts; in others, it’s doing essentially the opposite – albeit through an irony-fueled, monkey’s paw kind of interpretation of “re-green the Earth’s deserts”. Now, a new set of photos from NASA has laid bare a striking example of the latter effect – and it’s right …
