The much-anticipated total lunar eclipse of 2025 was visible across the US to those of us who were not besieged by cloud ...

Snow-covered area in February across the western United States was 13 percent below average, at 822,000 square kilometers ...

Albedo, soon to be the first commercial company to operate in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), has been selected for a Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) opportunity by the Air Force Research Laboratory ...

The idea of flying satellites in "very" low-Earth orbit is not new. Dating back to the dawn of the space age in the late 1950s, the first US spy satellites, as part of the Corona program, orbited the ...

Warm Atlantic waters are rapidly reshaping the Siberian Arctic, sparking an era of unprecedented sea ice loss—something that will have ongoing implications for the region’s ecosystem and climate, says ...

FARGO — Albedo is a word describing the portion of the sun’s radiation reflected from a surface. Most solar radiation passes directly through air with relatively little absorption. The reason ...

It started with a tweet. In 2019, during his first term as president, Donald Trump posted a surveillance photo of an Iranian missile site in the aftermath of an explosion. The quality of the image ...

This faintness likely contributed to why 2024 YR4 4 eluded detection up until so recently. In addition, the shape of the asteroid, and its albedo – which measures how reflective the asteroid is – is ...

Many people choose to pick out the stringy bits of a banana after assuming it is just part of the peel, but a doctor is urging people to stop doing that. The strands are actually phloem bundles, which ...

Red snow algae bloom on glaciers and ice sheets worldwide (Hoham and Remias, 2020), reducing snow surface albedo and accelerating snowmelt (Lutz et al., 2016; Cook et al., 2017; Ganey et al., 2017; ...

of 0.89 (0.26), and single scattering albedo (SSA) with R (RMSE) of 0.89 (0.10). The time- and spatial-based validation further underscores the model’s ability to predict different aerosol parameters ...

Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.
