Empowering a Sustainable Future

And with that, another year of studying our planet comes to an end…

In 2023, just like every year, @NASA data are telling us more and more about our changing planet. Sea surface height from a new satellite called SWOT, global temperatures from our GISTEMP record, and daily imagery from over 20 Earth-observing satellites are just a few of the many ways our scientists are looking at our home from above.

Now we’re launching into 2024 like: 🛰🌎🎉

Video Description:
Starting with a clip of the ISS Cupola and the text “What did we see from space in 2023?”. The video then shows climate visualizations of Sea Surface Height, Methane, Arctic Sea Ice, Ozone, Carbon Dioxide Increase, Weather Events, Antarctic Sea Ice, and Global Temperatures all displayed on a globe in various ways on a black background. Around 20 seconds in a clip of the SWOT rocket launch is shown with the text “And more coming in 2024 like… ” followed by models of future missions PACE and NISAR. The last visualization highlights the Earth Observing Fleet with the text “all studying our home planet.”
