Hoburg and Bowen completed their major objective to install an IROSA (International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array) to augment power generation for the 1B power channel … [continued]
Dr. Lyndsey McMillon-Brown was hoping to see anything but mustard yellow. When the NASA research electrical engineer clicked open the photo of a small sample — a swatch of film no bigger than a sticky note — she let out a cheer. The film was still dark black after spending … [continued]
20 years ago, when meteorologist John Haynes first went to Washington, DC, there was so much pollution that he could stand on the roof of NASA headquarters and see airborne residues of the neighboring interstate highway. He claims that a cloud of smog extended all the way into Virginia and … [continued]
A pilot project has estimated emissions and removals of carbon dioxide in individual nations using satellite measurements.
Kids are sponges when it comes to learning about renewable energy, and hands-on, experiential activities are fun ways to make zero emissions living tangible.
Cyclone Gabrielle has been lashing New Zealand with strong winds and heavy rain in mid-February 2023, adding to what has already been an unusually wet start to the year.
