Blowing Through Space [hd video]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:03:58 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

A week of images from one of two STEREO Heliospheric Imagers on its 'Behind' spacecraft reveals at least half a dozen coronal mass ejections (CME's) blowing out from the Sun and heading into space (Mar. 25 - April 2, 2012). This imager is a wide-angle visible-light imaging system for the detection of CME events in interplanetary space and, in particular, of events directed towards the Earth. In this movie the Sun is just to the left of the field of view and the Earth would be millions of miles to the right. Mercury is the bright object moving from right to left against the background of stars near the center of the images. The Sun has been busy popping off solar storms like these as it approaches the maximum of its 11 year activity cycle. The period of peak activity is predicted to occur in about a year.

Five for Five [hd video]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:02:08 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

The Sun blew out at least five halo coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and several others over a five-day period (Mar. 24-29, 2012). SOHO's C3 coronagraph observed the action. Halo CMEs are ejections whose leading edge appears to spread out from the Sun in a kind of circle (i.e., halo), which indicates that the expanding cloud of particles is heading either directly towards or away from Earth. Most of the events were from the far side of the Sun, except for the two close together early on Mar. 27. This dynamic level of activity is in line with expectations that we are approaching solar maximum.

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken January 9, 2012 from 11:45:52 to 11:55:44 GMT, on a pass over the North Atlantic Ocean. This sequence of shots was taken as the ISS was traveling northeast over the Atlantic Ocean. Beginning northeast of the Caribbean islands, the crew pointed the camera towards the full Moon to show the moon setting over the horizon. The pass ends west of Western Europe, still over the ocean.

This video has been created by the Crew Earth Observations team at Johnson Space Center from a series of still images taken onboard the International Space Station.

Hurricane Irene moves towards East Coast [hd video]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:21:47 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

The GOES-13 satellite saw Hurricane Irene moving through the Bahamas on August 25, 2011 at 10:02 a.m. EDT thru August 26 at 10:26 p.m. EDT and far to the east off the African coast was newly born Tropical Depression 10. The GOES-13 image shows Irene to be almost one third of the size of the U.S. east coast. The distance from Augusta, Maine to Miami, Florida is 1662.55 miles. Hurricane Irene's tropical storm-force winds extend 255 miles from the center making Irene 510 miles in diameter, almost one-third the size of the U.S. Hurricane-force winds extend 70 miles from the center, or 140 miles in diameter.

MAVEN "How To Build a Satellite" [hd video]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:55:18 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

Building a satellite is nothing like putting together, say, an office chair. A single bolt can take hours to install, and you can't even imagine how complex the rest of it is. This is why whenever NASA makes a new satellite--like the MAVEN mission to Mars--its scientists and engineers do everything they can to make sure it's done right.

Animation Shows 5 Days of Tornado-Generating Storms in U.S. Midwest [HD Vidoe]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Wed, 25 May 2011 13:02:40 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

The U.S. Midwest was hammered by severe storms for the last several days and this animation of satellite imagery from the GOES-13 satellite shows the progression of storms from May 20 to 25, 2011. This animation includes the storms that spawned the deadly Joplin, Missouri tornado on May 22 (around 5:30 p.m.) and the Oklahoma tornado event (Oklahoma City and Piedmont, Oklahoma) on May 24, 2011.

The video shows the progression of the May 24 storms moving from Arkansas, Illinois and Missouri into Mississippi, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana. The May 24 event killed people in Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, according to the Associated Press. The National Weather Service reported that several twisters touched down in Oklahoma City and some of its suburbs.

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite called GOES-13 covers weather events over the eastern U.S. and the Atlantic Ocean. The GOES series of satellites is operated by NOAA, and the NASA GOES Project creates images and animations from the GOES series of satellites. This movie is in a large-format 720x1280 H264-encoded digital movie from the GOES-13 satellite.

Back-Sided CME Event [hd video]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 08:08:58 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

NASA image captured March 21, 2011

The STEREO (Ahead) spacecraft caught this bright, substantial coronal mass ejection blast that emerged from the far side of the Sun, out of direct view from Earth (Mar. 21, 2011). Because it was from the far side (from Earth perspective), none of the ejected particle cloud was headed towards Earth. When that active region rotates around again, we?ll see if its potential power for generating solar storms remains as strong.

Lunar Topography in Natural Color [HD Video]

nobody@flickr.com (NASA Goddard Photo and Video) — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:00:07 -0700

NASA Goddard Photo and Video posted a video:

This animation is a brief tour of several prominent features of the Moon's terrain: Tycho crater, the south pole, and the South Pole-Aitken basin. It is match-moved to a companion piece showing the terrain elevations in false color.

The surface appearance is derived from photographs taken by the Clementine spacecraft. Although it shows the visible surface in natural color, this animation does not depict realistic sunlight and shadows. This is especially significant near the poles, where certain parts of the terrain can be in permanent shadow and would never be fully visible in the manner depicted here.
