Starlink’s 6,000 Satellites Are Making the Night Sky Measurably Brighter
Each Starlink launch adds to a constellation that scientists say is measurably brightening the night sky. Peer-reviewed studies now quantify what 6,000 satellites mean for astronomy and dark-sky preservation.9 Ways NASA Satellite Farming Tools Are Reshaping Crop Monitoring
Nebraska producer Roric Paulman has joined NASA Acres' Farm Innovation Ambassador Team, bringing Great Plains farming expertise into a national program that uses satellite remote sensing to deliver real-time crop, soil, and water data to working producers.Gas Flaring Rose to a 6-Year High in 2025 — Here’s Why It Keeps Growing
Global gas flaring reached a six-year high in 2025, burning 167 billion cubic meters of natural gas worth $54 billion — enough to power all of sub-Saharan Africa. The World Bank's data exposes why voluntary industry pledges have repeatedly failed to reverse the trend.Monsoon Climate Change Creates Deadly Heat-Rain Double Threat, Study Warns
A new Institute of Atmospheric Physics-affiliated study warns that a shifting Indian Summer Monsoon is producing a deadly compound threat: extreme humid heat and intense flooding increasingly strike the same regions within the same season, overwhelming infrastructure and human health in ways neither hazard would alone.Methane Traps 80x More Heat Than CO₂—and Most Leaks Go Undetected
Methane from oil and gas operations is 80 times more potent than CO₂ over 20 years, yet most leaks go undetected for months. Closing that measurement gap may be the fastest lever we have for slowing warming this decade.Grape Seeds in Space: How Cosmic Radiation Could Reshape Crop Breeding
In 2027, Texas A&M researchers will send hundreds of wine grape seeds to the International Space Station for six months, studying how cosmic radiation mutates plant DNA in ways that could accelerate climate-adaptive crop breeding on Earth.Load More
