    It’s #NationalParkWeek! ⛰️🥾🌲 Can you identify these @NatlParkService parks from space? Check out these satellite images and drop your guesses in the comments. Bonus points if you’ve visited or can identify any iconic landmarks!

    A series of heat waves broke records and is taking a toll in Europe this summer. This animation shows the daily max surface air temperature across Western Europe from May 1 to Aug. 19, 2026 using the @NASAGoddard GEOS model. go.nasa.gov/4wMgHS4

    ☀️ A never-ending midnight sun (84 days) From spring to summer, the area around Utqiaġvik, Alaska transforms from a frozen tundra to a mosaic of ponds during its 84 days without a sunset. Winter brings the opposite extreme when the sun disappears for weeks at a time.

    The western U.S. is still feeling the effects of this year’s snow drought. A private company is using freely-available @NASA Earth data to improve machine-learning forecasts, helping managers make decisions about water, power, and public safety in Washington state.

    A photo of the world for World Photography Day 🌍📷 In April 2026, Artemis II flew around the Moon and back. On the way there, astronaut Reid Wiseman captured this full disk photograph of Earth at nighttime.
    A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The image shows Earth at nighttime, using a slow camera shutter speed to bring out details that would otherwise be shrouded in darkness. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in places from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o’clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o’clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet’s surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA
