Join NASA and ISRO (the Indian Space Research Organisation) for the launch of our most advanced Earth-observing radar satellite, which will provide 3D views of land and ice surfaces in unprecedented detail.
The spacecraft is scheduled to launch at 8:10 a.m. EDT (1210 UTC) on Wednesday, July 30, aboard an ISRO Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle Mark II rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast.
From orbit, the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite will enable scientists to measure small shifts in Earth’s glaciers, volcanoes, forests, and other land and ice surfaces – all down to a fraction of an inch. This data will help communities prepare for natural hazards like landslides and earthquakes, plus respond to them more effectively. With NISAR’s global view, researchers will better understand what’s changing, where, and why.
NISAR’s radar will measure surfaces by transmitting a specific microwave signal to Earth and then detecting characteristics of the return signal. The instrument can “see” through clouds and light rain, both day and night, and will scan a given spot twice every 12 days.

This video takes the viewer on a journey through space to the Sombrero Galaxy, also known as Messier 104 (M104).
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged the Sombrero galaxy with its MIRI (Mid-InfraRed Instrument), resolving the clumpy nature of the dust along the galaxy’s outer ring.
The mid-infrared light highlights the gas and dust that are a feature of the star formation taking place among the Sombrero galaxy’s outer disc. The rings of the Sombrero galaxy produce less than one solar mass of stars per year, in comparison to the Milky Way’s roughly two solar masses a year. It’s not a particular hotbed of star formation.
The Sombrero galaxy is around 30 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.

🚩 By the summer of 1214, the political map of Western Europe teetered on the edge of dramatic upheaval. Decades of dynastic rivalry, shifting alliances, and bitter feuds were converging toward a single, decisive confrontation: the Battle of Bouvines.
At the heart of the conflict stood King Philip II of France, known as Philip Augustus, a monarch whose ambitions had steadily eroded the Angevin Empire’s grip on its continental holdings. Opposing him was a formidable coalition: King John of England, desperate to reclaim lost territories and salvage his crown’s waning prestige; Emperor Otto IV of the Holy Roman Empire, whose fragile rule depended on checking French ascendancy; and rebellious nobles from Flanders and Boulogne, eager to shake off Capetian control.
The stakes were enormous. A French defeat could unravel the monarchy’s hard-won gains and plunge the kingdom into chaos. A loss for the coalition might doom the Angevin cause for good and leave the Emperor dangerously exposed. All of Europe watched and waited, holding its breath, as kings and emperors prepared to gamble their thrones on the fields of Bouvines.

Satellites like Copernicus Sentinel-3 measure land surface temperature — that’s the heat coming directly from the ground, not the air above it. And yes, it’s often hotter in the summer than what your app tells you.

Here’s a quick experiment you can do at home. Hold up slinky by one end and drop it. What happens to the bottom of the slinky? Does it go down, up or stay where it is?
A powerful new satellite will soon provide insights into natural hazards, ecosystems, agriculture, and other fields of study that affect communities around the globe. The NISAR mission is a collaboration between NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) and will use radar to track Earth’s changing surface in fine detail.
Short for NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, NISAR features an advanced radar system with two instruments: one from ISRO and one built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Using radar enables NISAR to map Earth’s land and ice surfaces day or night, regardless of whether skies are cloudy or clear.
NISAR will launch from ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. Launch is targeted for July 2025. Follow https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/nisar for the latest updates.
View of Earth as seen by ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski inside the seven-windowed cupola, the International Space Station’s “window to the world”.
The European Space Agency-built Cupola is the favourite place of many astronauts on the International Space Station. It serves not only as a unique photo spot, but also for observing robotic activities of the Canadian Space Agency’s robotic arm Canadarm2, arriving spacecraft and spacewalks.
Sławosz was launched to the International Space Station on the Dragon spacecraft as part of Axiom Mission 4 on 25 June 2025. The 20-day mission on board is known as Ignis.
During the Ignis mission, Sławosz conducted 13 experiments proposed by Polish companies and institutions and developed in collaboration with ESA, along with three additional ESA-led experiments. These covered a broad range of areas including human research, materials science, biology, biotechnology and technology demonstrations.
The Ax-4 mission marks the second commercial human spaceflight for an ESA project astronaut. Ignis was sponsored by the Polish government and supported by ESA, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MRiT) and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA).

For years, astronomers believed the Milky Way and Andromeda were on a direct collision course in about 4.5 billion years. But new research using data from our Gaia mission and Hubble Space Telescope suggests the story isn’t so simple.
After running 100 000 simulations with the most precise data available, scientists now say there’s only a 50% chance the two galaxies will collide in the next 10 billion years.
The Large Magellanic Cloud, one of our satellite galaxies, could be tugging the Milky Way just enough to steer it away from Andromeda. Instead of crashing, the two galaxies might simply orbit each other in a slow cosmic dance.
So the fate of the Milky Way remains uncertain. And with the Sun expected to make Earth uninhabitable in about a billion years, a galaxy collision is low on our list of concerns.
