A year at Zion National Park, one frame at a time. 🏞️ This time-lapse captures the North Fork Virgin River with Zion’s iconic Watchman formation in the background, showing how the river and surrounding landscape change over the seasons. USGS Hydrologic Imagery Visualization and Information System (HIVIS) cameras at this and other water monitoring sites across the country help the USGS remotely track current conditions, identify technical issues, verify remote measurements, and provide a visual record of conditions. Want to see the latest view of the river? Check out the camera 👉 #NationalParkWeek

The Moon, revealed through its geology. 🌗 Explore the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon! Created by USGS Astrogeology, in collaboration with NASA and other partners, this first-ever comprehensive map reveals the Moon’s entire surface geology, combining Apollo-era data with recent satellite missions. It not only shows the 4.5-billion-year history of our lunar neighbor, but also serves as a key tool for future human missions and an invaluable resource for scientists, educators, and space enthusiasts. Download the full map and legend 👉 📹: This animation shows a rotating globe of the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon with shaded topography from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA).
