To study sea ice thickness, more than one view can help. NASA scientists spent two weeks flying above the Arctic with cutting-edge sensors aboard. When combined with satellite and on-the-ground measurements, the data helps us better understand how the region is changing.

NASA satellites watch crops all over the world, especially in places we can’t easily visit. 🌽 By combining satellite data with ground observations, NASA helps create reports that guide farmers on what to plant and track how global supply and demand is changing.

We’ve teamed up with ISRO on the NISAR mission, a satellite that will measure changes on Earth’s surface in fine detail. Data from NISAR can help us better manage natural resources, and understand the pace and effects of climate change.

The Earth has a pulse — and satellites help us see it. This excerpt from the YOU:MATTER exhibit at the National Science and Media Museum shows how everything on the planet is connected — and how space technology is making those connections visible. Satellites track photosynthesis using the faint glow that plants emit — which helps us understand how well they’re absorbing carbon dioxide. Together with other data, like the Greenness Index, this gives scientists insight into global carbon cycles and the health of the planet. NASA, NOAA, JPL, and other agencies use these observations to better understand and care for the Earth.

The 2025 Arctic sea ice minimum stands at 4.6 million km2. That's 350,000 km2 more than 2024, and 180,000 above the 2011 to 2020 average. The claims of an ice-free Arctic have failed, yet again. In fact, no decline in sea ice has been observed in 18 years, longer if you take into account the artificial drop post-2007 which was due to a sensor and an algorithmic change. Mainstream scientists are of course dumbfounded by this pause. One paper (Swart 2015) claimed that an 18-year pause in melting was less than 10% likely. Experts underestimated the resilience of Arctic sea ice, assigning more than a 90% chance against what has actually happened. The ice is not disappearing. The models have been proven wrong.

EARTH’S OCEANS HAVE A BLOODSTREAM AND NASA MAPPED IT It’s like the planet’s got veins, and they’re flowing with saltwater. NASA stitched together satellite data and ocean buoy info to show how water zooms around the globe. This model, called ECCO (not the shoes), helps scientists track everything from sea life to storms to climate change. Basically, it’s Earth’s real-time mood ring, but for weathermen. Black Hole
