A research team”the first to carry out a survey of global ice loss using satellite data”discovered that the rate at which ice is disappearing across the planet is speeding up.

Storm Filomena blanketed parts of Spain in thick snow, leaving half the country on red alert.

All eyes remain on the giant A-68A iceberg on its journey across the Southern Ocean. This image shows A-68A's movements using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 missions.

The second qualification model of the P120C solid rocket motor, configured for Ariane 6, completed its hot firing on Oct. 7, 2020, in a final test to prove its readiness for flight.

The August Complex Fire and others this fire season have been sending far-reaching plumes of wildfire smoke into the atmosphere that worsen air quality in California and beyond. Predicting where that smoke will travel and how bad the air will be downwind is a challenge, but Earth-observing satellites can help.

This series of four Copernicus Sentinel-2 images captured between June 29, 2020, and July 24, 2020, shows a segment of the largest ice shelf in the Arctic break up and shatter into a flotilla of small icebergs totalling an area of around 125 square kilometers.

The large, white area visible on the island is a national park that encompasses the Vatnajökull Glacier.
