Is There Weather on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Scientist
The Moon doesn't have weather in the same way Earth does. There's no atmosphere on the Moon, so there's no air to create the conditions for weather like clouds, wind, or rain. However, there are temperature fluctuations between day and night due to the lack of atmosphere to trap heat. This could make for an interesting video description about the Moon's unique environment.
Is there weather on the Moon? Yes, but not the weather you’re used to. The Sun’s solar wind is a type of “space weather” that can have a big impact on the Moon due to its lack of atmosphere. It can also affect all sorts of things like satellites, electronics and communications. Better understanding how space weather interacts with the Moon will be critical as we send #Artemis astronauts to the lunar surface. https://go.nasa.gov/3WmUB69

Leaked Full Video: NASA Moon Mission's Dark Secret Revealed
Original Mission Video as aired in July 1969 depicting the Apollo 11 astronauts conducting several tasks during extravehicular activity (EVA) operations on the surface of the moon. The EVA lasted approximately 2.5 hours with all scientific activities being completed satisfactorily. The Apollo 11 (EVA) began at 10:39:33 p.m. EDT on July 20, 1969 when Astronaut Neil Armstrong emerged from the spacecraft first. While descending, he released the Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly on the Lunar Module's descent stage. A camera on this module provided live television coverage of man's first step on the Moon. On this, their one and only EVA, the astronauts had a great deal to do in a short time. During this first visit to the Moon, the astronauts remained within about 100 meters of the lunar module, collected about 47 pounds of samples, and deployed four experiments. After spending approximately 2 hours and 31 minutes on the surface, the astronauts ended the EVA at 1:11:13 a.m. EDT on July 21.
Step back in time and witness history as you embark on an extraordinary journey to the lunar surface. Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring moment of the Apollo 11 Moonwalk with this meticulously restored original NASA EVA mission video. Join Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as they take humanity's first steps on the Moon, captured in stunning detail and clarity. Relive the iconic "giant leap for mankind" and feel the exhilaration of this monumental achievement as if you were there. This remarkable footage, enhanced to bring out every intricate detail, allows you to experience the lunar adventure like never before. Don't miss the opportunity to be a part of this legendary expedition and walk alongside the pioneers of space exploration.

Has COVID Affected Climate Change? – We Asked a NASA Scientist
Delve into the intricate relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on climate change as we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with a distinguished NASA scientist. Gain valuable insights into how the global response to the pandemic may have influenced various aspects of our planet's climate systems. Join us for a comprehensive exploration of this timely and significant topic, shedding light on the complex interplay between human activities, environmental dynamics, and the broader implications for our world's future.
Greenhouse gas emissions decreased a little during the first year of COVID, but not enough to make a lasting impact.
Less travel and cars on the road meant improved air quality. But greenhouse gases that cause climate change only decreased a little because we were still heating and cooling our homes, so these gases continued to build up in our atmosphere. NASA climate change scientist Lesley Ott tells us more about what scientists discovered.

How Will We Extract Water on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Technologist
Extracting water on the Moon involves using techniques like mining lunar ice from permanently shadowed regions near the poles. Robotic missions can use drills and excavators to gather ice, which can then be heated to release water vapor. This vapor can be captured and condensed into liquid water for various purposes, such as supporting future lunar habitats or producing rocket propellant.
We know the Moon contains water, but, could future astronauts access and make use of it? That’s the goal. At NASA, we’re actively trying to answer that question. Once it lands at the lunar south pole, our PRIME-1 — Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 – will robotically sample and analyze ice from beneath the lunar surface, contributing to our search for water on the Moon: https://go.nasa.gov/2QygCmF

A Decade of Sun
Close
A Decade of Sun
As of June 2020, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory — SDO — has now been watching the Sun non-stop for over a full decade. From its orbit in space around the Earth, SDO has gathered 425 million high-resolution images of the Sun, amassing 20 million gigabytes of data over the past 10 years. This information has enabled countless new discoveries about the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar system. With a triad of instruments, SDO captures an image of the Sun every 0.75 seconds. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument alone captures images every 12 seconds at 10 different wavelengths of light. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer — the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle and notable events, like transiting planets and eruptions. The custom music, titled “Solar Observer,” was composed by musician Lars Leonhard (https://www.lars-leonhard.de). While SDO has kept an unblinking eye pointed towards the Sun, there have been a few moments it missed. The dark frames in the video are caused by Earth or the Moon eclipsing SDO as they pass between the spacecraft and the Sun. A longer blackout in 2016 was caused by a temporary issue with the AIA instrument that was successfully resolved after a week. The images where the Sun is off-center were observed when SDO was calibrating its instruments. SDO and other NASA missions will continue to watch our Sun in the years to come, providing further insights about our place in space and information to keep our astronauts and assets safe. Some noteworthy events appear briefly in this time lapse.
