Earth
The name Earth is at least 1,000 years old. All of the planets, except for Earth, were named after Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. However, the name Earth is a Germanic word, which simply means “the ground.” - https://science.nasa.gov/earth/facts/
Earth Rotation from Galileo Imagery: 3600 x Real-Time JPL
This animation is one in a series created to show an accurate representation of the Earth’s rotation at different temporal resolutions. The animation is created from images taken by the Galileo spacecraft during a close pass of the Earth on December 11-12, 1990
DSCOVR: EPIC
DSCOVR: Deep Space Climate Observatory
📻Handsome Boy Modeling School - Waterworld📻 DSCOVR: Deep Space Climate Observatory The Deep Space Climate Observatory, or DSCOVR, was launched in February of 2015, and maintains the nation’s real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities, which are critical to the accuracy and lead time of NOAA’s space weather alerts and forecasts… It sits Behind the moon from my understadning and that position is how it is able to capture LunaRoccultation so well
What is an occultation in astronomy?
A lunar occultation in astronomy is when the Moon appears to move in front of another object in the sky like a star, a planet or an asteroid. - @AntonVamplew Anton Vamplew - BBC
WHAT IS EPIC?
EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) is a 10-channel spectroradiometer (317 – 780 nm) onboard NOAA’s DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) spacecraft. EPIC provides 10 narrow band spectral images of the entire sunlit face of Earth using a 2048x2048 pixel CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detector coupled to a 30-cm aperture Cassegrain telescope ReadMore
50 Years of GOES
In 2025, NOAA celebrates 50 years of its heralded Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite program, known as GOES. For five decades, NOAA and NASA have partnered to advance NOAA satellite observations from geostationary orbit.

NOAA-21, NOAA-20, and Suomi NPP orbits
NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) provides global observations that serve as the backbone of both short- and long-term forecasts, including those that help us predict and prepare for severe weather events. The five satellites scheduled in the fleet are the currently-flying NOAA/NASA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite, NOAA-20, previously known as JPSS-1, NOAA-21, previously known as JPSS-2, and the upcoming JPSS-3 and JPSS-4 satellites.

NOAA workers report ‘intentional chaos’ during personnel cuts
Some of the former government employees who were fired, rehired and fired again said they’re owed pay and their health plans have been frozen; Some workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who were fired in February, rehired in March and then fired for a second time in April, say the agency has missed some salary payments during that period, and failed to have their health insurance plans restored or provide basic paperwork…ReadMore Evav Bush @nbcnews

Weather & climate office hour 04/14/2025: Dismantling of NOAA, NASA, & climate research accelerates
The latest in a recurring series of live, virtual, & interactive “office hours” hosted by Dr. Daniel Swain on various topics related to extreme weather and climate. 04/14/2025 topic: Breaking news in recent days surrounding even deeper and more startling cuts to NOAA, NASA, FEMA, and other federal entities responsible for predicting, responding to, or studying weather, climate, wildfires, and disasters in the United States have been raising growing alarm. I’ll discuss the latest in today’s session, with a focus on potential short and long-term consequences of this proposed and/or unfolding large-scale dismantling of American science.
