THERMONUCLEAR ART – THE SUN IN ULTRA-HIGH DEFINITION HD VIDEO
The sun is always changing and NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is always watching. Launched on February 11, 2010, SDO keeps a 24-hour eye on the entire disk of the sun, with a prime view of the graceful dance of solar material coursing through the sun's atmosphere, the corona.
SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. Different temperatures can, in turn, show specific structures on the sun such as solar flares, which are gigantic explosions of light and x-rays, or coronal loops, which are stream of solar material travelling up and down looping magnetic field lines.
Scientists study these images to better understand the complex electromagnetic system causing the constant movement on the sun, which can ultimately have an effect closer to Earth, too. Flares and another type of solar explosion called coronal mass ejections can sometimes disrupt technology in space. Moreover, studying our closest star is one way of learning about other stars in the galaxy. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. built, operates, and manages the SDO spacecraft for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C.

ARCTIC B-ROLL In HD
In the summer of 2015 a NASA-funded team of researchers camped out on the ablation zone--or melt zone--of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Their goal: to conduct a bold and coordinated set of measurements that should help us better understand how meltwater is transported from the ice sheet and into the sea, and ultimately how much that process will affect sea level rise. Larry Smith from UCLA led a team of hydrologists who conducted 72 straight hours of measurements across a river of meltwater, just upstream from where that river plunged into a moulin, or hole in the ice. Smith and Berkeley researcher Vena Chu also placed drifting science beacons in three tributaries of that river to monitor the water as it moved downstream. A few hours after their deployment all three beacons driften by camp, having accomplished their mission. This footage chronicles the flight from Kangerlussuaq, Greenland by helicopter en route to the main camp, as well as the deployment of the drifting beacons.

There is also a misconception that no dig farming requires large amounts of organic matter, which may be difficult to obtain or costly. While it is true that organic matter is an essential component of no dig farming, it doesn't necessarily have to be extensively sourced or expensive. Various sources of organic matter can be utilized, including compost, animal manure, leaf litter, grass clippings, and kitchen scraps. Moreover, no dig farming encourages the use of on-site resources, such as pruning and weeding residues, to build up organic matter in the soil. With proper management and resource utilization, the costs associated with acquiring organic matter can be minimized.

SDO: Year 6 NASA
The sun is always changing and NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is always watching. Launched on Feb. 11, 2010, SDO keeps a 24-hour eye on the entire disk of the sun, with a prime view of the graceful dance of solar material coursing through the sun's atmosphere, the corona. SDO's sixth year in orbit was no exception. This video shows that entire sixth year--from Jan. 1, 2015 to Jan. 28, 2016 as one time-lapse sequence. At full quality, this video is ultra-high definition 3840x2160 and 59.94 frames per second. Each frame represents 1 hour.
SDO's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) captures a shot of the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths. The images shown here are based on a wavelength of 171 angstroms, which is in the extreme ultraviolet range and shows solar material at around 600,000 Kelvin (about 1 million degrees F.) In this wavelength it is easy to see the sun's 25-day rotation.
During the course of the video, the sun subtly increases and decreases in apparent size. This is because the distance between the SDO spacecraft and the sun varies over time. The image is, however, remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact that SDO orbits Earth at 6,876 mph and the Earth orbits the sun at 67,062 miles per hour.
Scientists study these images to better understand the complex electromagnetic system causing the constant movement on the sun, which can ultimately have an effect closer to Earth, too: Flares and another type of solar explosion called coronal mass ejections can sometimes disrupt technology in space. Moreover, studying our closest star is one way of learning about other stars in the galaxy.

Tour of the Moon 4K Redux
In the fall of 2011, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission released its original Tour of the Moon, a five-minute animation that takes the viewer on a virtual tour of our nearest neighbor in space. Six years later, the tour has been recreated in eye-popping 4K resolution, using the same camera path and drawing from the vastly expanded data trove collected by LRO in the intervening years.
The tour visits a number of interesting sites chosen to illustrate a variety of lunar terrain features. Some are on the near side and are familiar to both professional and amateur observers on Earth, while others can only be seen clearly from space. Some are large and old (Orientale, South Pole-Aitken), others are smaller and younger (Tycho, Aristarchus). Constantly shadowed areas near the poles are hard to photograph but easier to measure with altimetry, while several of the Apollo landing sites, all relatively near the equator, have been imaged at resolutions as high as 25 centimeters (10 inches) per pixel.
The new tour highlights the mineral composition of the Aristarchus plateau, evidence for surface water ice in certain spots near the south pole, and the mapping of gravity in and around the Orientale basin.

How NASA Will Protect Astronauts From Space Radiation
August 1972, as NASA scientist Ian Richardson remembers it, was hot. In Surrey, England, where he grew up, the fields were brown and dry, and people tried to stay out of the Sun, indoors and televisions on. But for several days that month, his TV picture kept breaking up. “Do not adjust your set,” he recalls the BBC announcing. “Heat isn’t causing the interference. It’s sunspots.”
The same sunspots that disrupted the television signals led to enormous solar flares — powerful bursts of radiation from the Sun — Aug. 4-7 that year. Between the Apollo 16 and 17 missions, the solar eruptions were a near miss for lunar explorers. Had they been in orbit or on the Moon’s surface, they would have sustained dangerous levels of solar radiation sparked by the eruptions. Today, the Apollo-era flares serve as a reminder of the threat of radiation exposure for technology and astronauts in space. Understanding and predicting solar eruptions is crucial for safe space exploration.
Almost 50 years since those 1972 storms, the data, technology and resources available to NASA have improved, enabling advancements towards space weather forecasts and astronaut protection — key to NASA’s Artemis program to return astronauts to the Moon.

Introduction of No dig farming in hindi
No-dig farming, also known as no-till or no-dig gardening, is a sustainable and natural approach to growing crops without disturbing the soil through deep digging or tilling. It involves building and maintaining healthy soil structure and fertility without the need for extensive manual labor.
Here's a basic explanation of no-dig farming for beginners:
1. Start with a clean area: Clear the designated growing area of any existing vegetation, weeds, or debris.
2. Create the garden beds: Rather than digging or tilling the soil, create raised beds by layering organic materials directly on top of the ground. These materials can include compost, well-rotted manure, straw, cardboard, or newspaper.
3. Add organic matter: Regularly add organic matter like compost, leaf mold, grass clippings, or kitchen scraps on top of the existing layers. This helps to improve soil fertility, structure, and water-holding capacity.
4. Planting and sowing: Make shallow holes or furrows in the top layers of compost and sow seeds or plant seedlings directly into the prepared beds.
5. Mulch the beds: Cover the soil surface with organic mulch, such as straw, wood chips, or shredded leaves. This helps to suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, and add organic matter as it breaks down.
6. Minimal disturbance: Avoid disturbing the soil beneath the surface as much as possible. Simply loosen the mulch layer to sow or plant new crops when needed.
7. Crop rotation: Practice rotating your crops each year to prevent the buildup of pests and diseases, and to maintain soil health.
Benefits of no-dig farming for beginners include:
- Minimized weed growth due to the mulch layer
- Retention of more moisture in the soil
- Improved soil structure and fertility over time
- Reduced erosion and soil compaction
- Less labor-intensive compared to traditional digging or tilling methods
- Suitable for small spaces, including pots and containers
Remember, no-dig farming is a continuous learning process, and it may take time for the soil to develop and thrive. Experimenting with different organic matter and observing the results will help you refine your no-dig gardening techniques.
