#Trump kürzt das Budget der #NASA, die zur Folge haben wird das u.a. der Betrieb von den einzigen zwei #Satelliten die #CO2 Messungen durchführen, eingestellt werden. Diese Satelliten revolutionierten die Sammlung von #Kohlenstoffdaten und die #Treibhausgaswissenschaft. Vereinfacht gesagt haben die Satelliten geändert, wie wir unsere Auswirkungen auf den Planeten verstehen. Experten stützen sich auf die Daten für Studien zu Treibhausgasen und #Klimakatastrophen!

boost_ok If you live in the US, especially convenient to Washington DC, and you would like to help save NASA's science (the funding cuts are very focused on all of the general science that supports *everyone* in *almost every science field* especially environment & climate...) check out this extremely organized chance to help in person in October with a training day and then a meeting day to speak directly to elected officials: https://www.planetary.org/advocacy/day-of-action
"In response to the unprecedented attack on NASA's science activities in the FY 2026 budget proposal, The Planetary Society and nearly a dozen partner organizations are holding a joint Day of Action on October 5th and 6th in Washington, D.C."

Hundreds of NASA employees and supporters have signed the #VoyagerDeclaration, formally expressing dissent against budget cuts and attacks on key NASA missions.

This action follows similar statements from #NIH and #EPA communities, voicing objection to the unlawful policies of the Trump administration.

NASA's new PUNCH mission is a constellation of 4 small satellites that collectively provide an unprecedented view of giant eruptions breaking free from the Sun.

This first-release video compresses about 6 days of observations.

https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/punch/2025/06/10/nasas-punch-releases-its-first-images-of-huge-eruptions-from-sun/ #space #science #nature #nasa

From late May to early June 2025, PUNCH’s three Wide Field Imagers captured views of coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, traveling out from the Sun into the solar system. The CMEs can be seen moving in all directions, including directly at the camera. The constellation Orion is visible at the bottom left, Venus can be seen at the far right, and Jupiter to the left of center. The bright object that leaves the frame on the left at the beginning of the video is the Moon. The small yellow dot at the center denotes the Sun, and the dashed white line around it represents the field of view of LASCO C3, an earlier coronagraph still used to forecast space weather aboard NASA-ESA’s SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory).

Planetary Defense at NASA

In 2016, NASA established the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) to manage the agency's ongoing mission of finding, tracking, and better understanding asteroids and comets that could pose an impact hazard to Earth. Here you can stay informed about the PDCO, NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Observations Program, and upcoming planetary defense flight missions, including NASA'S NEO Surveyor mission.

Planetary Defenders

NASA’s Planetary Defenders is a gripping documentary that delves into the high-stakes world of asteroid detection and planetary defense by journeying alongside NASA’s dedicated team of scientists, astronomers, and engineers who discover, track, and monitor near-Earth asteroids to safeguard Earth from potential impacts. Available now on NASA+ and other streaming platforms.

How would humanity respond if we discovered an asteroid headed for Earth? NASA’s "Planetary Defenders" is a gripping documentary that delves into the high-stakes world of asteroid detection and planetary defense.
