NASA studies our home planet like no one else, observing Earth from land, air and space for more than 60 years. Happy #EarthDay!
NASA's Disasters Program is supporting response efforts by FEMA and the National Weather Service, sharing satellite maps and imagery to help assess the storms' impacts https://t.co/7c7zQCrSjR
NASA's IMERG data reveals rainfall patterns from the April 2-6 severe weather event that produced tornadoes and flooding across the U.S. south and midwest https://t.co/1lkuwzQNrh
NASA is developing new ways to process satellite data to get actionable insights into hazardous weather conditions, like tornadoes and hailstorms.
This information can help provide a more complete picture of storm damage, enabling better informed decisions during emergency response and recovery.
In the wake of the tornadoes that struck the Southeastern U.S. March 14-16, NASA Langley researchers supported by the NASA Disasters Program, mapped potential severe weather by observing patterns in the storm-tops using @NOAA GOES satellite data. https://t.co/b6cdyKoanU
Today, we honor the crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, as well as other astronauts who lost their lives in the pursuit of spaceflight.
Join us virtually from @ExploreSpaceKSC for our Day of Remembrance ceremony.

This animation shows Hurricane #Milton before, during, and after it passed over Florida.
Brightness temperature images like these can show the tops of storm clouds during the day and night, even when there is not enough visible light to capture natural-color images.
NASA IMERG captured precipitation rates and totals from Hurricane #Milton as it formed, rapidly intensified, and impacted Florida over the past week
