Palm Springs, California
This Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer(ASTER) image shows the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Palm Desert,California, located 160 km east of Los Angeles. The scene is 22km wide by 24 km high, and was acquired on…
Aurora from the Space Shuttle
Astronauts aboard the STS-97 Space Shuttle mission in December photographed the northern lights after undocking from the International Space Station. TThe faint, thin greenish band stretching across and above the horizon is airglow; radiation emitted by the atmosphere from a…

Hubble’s Ultraviolet Views of Nearby Galaxies Yield Clues to Early Universe
Astronomers are using these three Hubble telescope images of nearby galaxies to help tackle the question of why their distant relatives have such odd shapes, appearing markedly different from the typical “ellipticals” and “spirals” seen in the nearby universe. By…
‘Death Spiral’ Around a Black Hole Yields Tantalizing Evidence of an Event Horizon
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope may have, for the first time, provided direct evidence for the existence of black holes by observing the disappearance of matter as it falls beyond the “event horizon.” Joseph F. Dolan, of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight…
Airborne Particulates over Southern Africa
This map shows the abundance of airborne particulates, or aerosols,over Southern Africa during the period August 14–September 29, 2000.Low particle concentrations are shown in shades of blue, and highconcentrations in shades of red. The results were generated from Multi-angleImaging Spectroradiometer…
Snow and Dust over Inner Mongolia
A severe snow-and-sand storm hit an 80,000 square-mile(205,000-square-km) stretch of the Chinese province of Mongolia on NewYear’s Eve, killing 21 people and leaving thousands of people to facepossible starvation. The affected area is located about 250 miles (400km) northwest of…
Intergalactic ‘Pipeline’ Funnels Matter Between Colliding Galaxies
This visible-light picture, taken by the Hubble telescope, reveals an intergalactic “pipeline” of material flowing between two battered galaxies that bumped into each other about 100 million years ago. The pipeline [the dark string of matter] begins in NGC 1410…
Mexico
This true-color image of Mexico was acquired by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA’s Terra spacecraft. In areal extent, Mexico is the third largest country on the continent of North America (not counting Greenland, which is a province…
