Lunar Eclipse at the South Pole by Aman Chokshi
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2211...-Pole_1024.jpg
Last May 16 the Moon slid through Earth's shadow, completely immersed in the planet's dark umbra for about 1 hour and 25 minutes during a total lunar eclipse. In this composited timelapse view, the partial and total phases of the eclipse were captured as the Moon tracked above the horizon from Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. There it shared a cold and starry south polar night with a surging display of the aurora australis and central Milky Way.

Space Station Experiment Maps Earth’s Methane ‘Super Emitters’
http://static.scientificamerican.com...F756EC427937A0
This image shows a methane plume 2 miles (3 kilometers) long that NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission detected southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico.

NASA’s EMIT instrument has found more than 50 methane super emitters in its first few months of operation—and that’s not even its main job.
A powerful eye in the sky is helping scientists spy “super-emitters” of methane, a greenhouse gas about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
That observer is NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation instrument, or EMIT for short. EMIT has been mapping the chemical composition of dust throughout Earth’s desert regions since being installed on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS) in July, helping researchers understand how airborne dust affects climate.
That’s the main goal of EMIT’s mission. But it’s making another, less expected contribution to climate studies as well, NASA officials announced on Tuesday (Oct. 25). The instrument is identifying huge plumes of heat-trapping methane gas around the world—more than 50 of them already, in fact.
“Reining in methane emissions is key to limiting global warming. This exciting new development will not only help researchers better pinpoint where methane leaks are coming from, but also provide insight on how they can be addressed—quickly,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement.

Mississippi River, United States | Earth from Space

This week's edition of the Earth from Space programme features a Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar image of the Mississippi River, one of the longest rivers in North America.

Drought Strangles the Mighty Mississippi
The nation’s mightiest, most mythical waterway has been strangled by months of dry conditions, which have sent water levels plummeting to historic lows. For weeks now, that slow-moving crisis has made it difficult, if not impossible, to move barges down a river that serves as a highway for about 60 percent of the nation’s foreign-bound corn and soybeans.
The result is a season of uncertainty for many up and down the river who depend on it for their livelihoods, from farmers growing crops to the tugboat pilots who steer barges toward the Gulf of Mexico and back. The deep worries over the crippled supply chain have mingled with the sheer curiosity of people who have flocked to the banks of the Mississippi to marvel at a sight few can ever recall.
In this part of the country, rising waters are usually a bigger concern — the last major floods hit in 2019, while just this summer, deadly flash flooding hit nearby parts of Missouri and Kentucky. But now it faces an ominously dry long-term forecast.
The only cure? Rain. And not just rain where the Mississippi is low right now, but farther north, in the tributaries upon which it relies.
