The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of Gezani as it neared Madagascar on Feb. 10, 2026.

The New York metropolitan area was showing the effects of a prolonged cold spell in late January 2026.

This false-color image from Landsat 9’s Thermal Infrared Sensor, acquired Oct. 11, 2025, shows the thermal signature of waters off the coast of Maine—revealing finer-scale temperature differences between neighboring coves.

This map, based on Copernicus Sentinel-1 data, shows the speed at which ice is moving horizontally on the Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland.

Waves of heavy rainfall in early December 2025 spurred landslides and flooding in parts of the Pacific Northwest.

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captures a spectacular geological wonder in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania: the Richat Structure. 

The Sentinel-1 mission delivers high-resolution radar images of Earth’s surface, performing in all weathers, day-and-night.

This image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission on October 26, 2025, shows the “brightness temperature” at the top of Hurricane Melissa as it barreled through the Caribbean Sea toward Jamaica, where it made landfall on Oct. 28, 2025. 

The total sea ice coverage was tied with 2008 for the 10th-lowest on record at 1.78 million square miles (4.60 million square kilometers).

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.
