Tiny particles floating in our air. This visualization shows how tiny particles called aerosols move through Earth's atmosphere from August 1 to September 14, 2024, using NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model. These particles, which include sea salt, dust, smoke, and sulfates, can travel thousands of miles and... show more

Aerosols are tiny solid or liquid particles in our atmosphere like dust, sulfates from pollution or volcanoes, wildfire smoke, and more. NASA’s GEOS model shows how these particles can affect the air we breathe—even from far away.

🤓 Man, this is some very cool stuff from NASA! It visualizes one month of aerosol particles moving throughout Earth's system (from August 2024). Green=Sulfate Red=Carbon Purple=Dust Cyan=Sea Salt [Keen readers will note the pun above😉]

🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile over California “Thousands of Californians are being told to stay inside - as air quality takes a dangerous dive across the state” “These particles are tiny, which means they can travel deep into the lung” Seriously, what are they doing to Californians?

NASA satellites and computers have provided us with these mesmerizing swirls that cover our planet—but this isn’t star stuff. Each color represents a different aerosol that was floating in the atmosphere above our heads from 1 August to 14 September 2024. Depicting aerosols in this way helps us understand how far-flung corners of the globe are connected via our shared atmosphere. Learn more in #ScienceAdviser—our free daily newsletter:

Microplastics have already been detected in the air and in the ocean. New research shows that plastic particles affect the distribution of water in clouds and the ocean’s heat conductivity. How could these findings help to adjust our climate models? Learn more via the link.

Ever wonder what protects us from the chaos of deep space?🌌 Our solar system is wrapped in a giant magnetic bubble called the heliosphere, formed by the constant flow of charged particles from the Sun known as the solar wind. NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), preparing for launch in late September, will study the heliosphere to uncover how our solar system is shielded from cosmic radiation and interstellar particles. Stay tuned for mission updates:

Canadian Fireworks.❤️ When it is -30°C or colder you can chuck boiling water into the air. Due to many factors such as the air being “full” due to the cold, tiny ice particles floating in the air, and the surface area of dispersed water you get this gorgeous display.

This animation shows hourly measurements of Particulate Matter 10 micrometres or less in diameter (PM10) across the Po Valley from 1 January to 31 January 2024. The data was obtained from Copernicus ECMWF reanalysis modelled data. PM10 plays a pivotal role in the air quality dynamics of the Po Valley. Comprising various particles like dust, pollen and combustion byproducts, PM10 is inhalable and can impact respiratory health.

These "Smog Guns" have become quite famous lately, we imported these from China and they are used worldwide. India alone has 368 in Delhi. They help clear visibility and reduce haze by suspending particles in the air. Every citizen of Lahore is a partner in the fight against smog. The government can make policies, legislate, monitor, and enforce but real change depends on citizens. This is a shared responsibility.

Microplastic has been found in the air, water, and food. Studies show that these particles may contribute to weight gain despite not containing any calories. How exactly does plastic affect metabolism and what still needs to be determined by researchers? Learn more in the video

The Earth's magnetic field is an invisible protector. A quiet and fascinating phenomenon occurs at the poles of our planet. The Earth's magnetic field, like an invisible director, directs the streams of charged particles flying from the Sun. When the solar wind reaches the atmosphere, the particles collide with its molecules, releasing energy and lighting up the sky with multi-colored lights - auroras. These fiery ribbons dancing in the night not only decorate the sky, but also remind us that the magnetic field protects us from destructive solar radiation.

Good air quality in schools keeps kids healthier and helps them to learn. Other provinces are monitoring their air quality but Ontario has yet to do so. This is why I presented the petition signed by Ontario residents to pass the Improve Air Quality for Our Children Act. #onpoli
