2024 XA 1, formerly designated as C0WEPC5, is a small meteoroid that fell over eastern Siberia near the city of Olekminsk on 3 December 2024, 16:15 GMT, around 1,000 kilometers east of the Tunguska event impact location. [4] [5] It is the eleventh impact event ever that was successfully predicted, and the fourth in 2024.
CMEs travel several million miles per hour, so the NOAA predicts that the best time to see the lights would be between 10 p.m. ET on Dec. 30 and 10 a.m. ET on Dec. 31, according to Space.com ...
Mazuku forming in a low morphological depression on the foothills of Mt. Amiata, Italy, where CO 2-rich fog accumulates in a ditch. Mazuku (Swahili for "evil winds") are pockets of dry, cold carbon dioxide-rich gases released from vents or fissures in volcanically and tectonically active areas, and mixed with dispersed atmospheric air and accumulating in typically low-lying areas.
The Earth's weather is a consequence of its illumination by the Sun and the laws of thermodynamics. The atmospheric circulation can be viewed as a heat engine driven by the Sun's energy and whose energy sink, ultimately, is the blackness of space. The work produced by that engine causes the motion of the masses of air, and in that process it ...
The video, taken over several hours Friday into Saturday morning by a NOAA satellite, shows dramatic plumes of smoke from the Park fire.
This year, the December full moon occurs one week before the winter solstice, an astronomical event caused by the Earth’s tilt, that marks the Northern Hemisphere’s longest night and shortest ...
Magnetosphere in the near-Earth space environment. The solar wind also carries with it the Sun's magnetic field. This field will have either a North or South orientation. If the solar wind has energetic bursts, contracting and expanding the magnetosphere, or if the solar wind takes a southward polarization, geomagnetic storms can be expected.
December 25, 2024 at 5:11 PM A former NASA commander has revealed that while piloting his private plane in Texas last summer he nearly had a collision with two mysterious “metallic, spherical ...
