Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR): Celebrating The 9-Year Anniversary (2015-2024)

From one million miles away, NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s DSCOVR satellite captured these spectacular views of the total solar eclipse that swept across a narrow portion of the North American continent from Mexico’s Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada on April 8, 2024. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of Central America and Europe.

This is NOAA's first operational deep space satellite and became its primary system of warning Earth in the event of solar magnetic storms.

On Feb. 11, 2015, DSCOVR was finally lofted into space by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. After a journey of about 1.6 million kilometers (1 million miles) to the L1 Lagrange Point, the satellite and its Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC). At L1—four times farther than the orbit of the Moon—the gravitational pull of the Sun and Earth cancel out, providing a stable orbit and a continuous view of Earth. These images were made by combining information from EPIC’s red, green, and blue bands. (Bands are narrow regions of the electromagnetic spectrum to which a remote sensing instrument responds. When EPIC collects data, it takes a series of 10 images at different bands—from ultraviolet to near-infrared.)

Pan of Arp 122: A "Herculean" Galactic Merger | Hubble Space Telescope

Pan of Arp 122: A "Herculean" Galactic Merger | Hubble Space Telescope

This Hubble image features Arp 122, a peculiar galaxy that is made up of two galaxies—NGC 6040, the tilted, warped spiral galaxy and LEDA 59642, the round, face-on spiral—that are in the middle of a collision in the constellation Hercules. This dramatic cosmic encounter is located at the very safe distance of roughly 570 million light-years from Earth. Peeking in at the corner is the elliptical galaxy NGC 6041, a central member of the galaxy cluster that Arp 122 resides in, but otherwise not participating in this monster merger.

Image Description: Two spiral galaxies are merging together at the right side of the image. One is seen face-on and is circular in shape. The other seems to lie in front of the first one. This galaxy is seen as a disc tilted away from the viewer and it is partially warped. In the lower-left corner, cut off by the frame, a large elliptical galaxy appears as light radiating from a point. Many small galaxies cover the background.

Galactic collisions and mergers are monumentally energetic and dramatic events, but they take place on a very slow timescale. For example, the Milky Way is on track to collide with its nearest galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), but these two galaxies have a good four billion years to go before they actually meet. The process of colliding and merging will not be a quick one either. It may  take hundreds of millions of years to unfold. These collisions take so long because of the truly massive distances involved.

Galaxies are composed of stars and their solar systems, dust and gas. In galactic collisions, therefore, these constituent components may experience enormous changes in the gravitational forces acting on them. In time, this completely changes the structure of the two (or more) colliding galaxies, and sometimes ultimately results in a single, merged galaxy. This may well be what results from the collision pictured in this image. Galaxies that result from mergers are thought to have a regular or elliptical structure, as the merging process disrupts more complex structures (such as those observed in spiral galaxies). It would be fascinating to know what Arp 122 will look like once this collision is complete . . . but that will not happen for a long, long time.

Solar Eclipse 2024: High-res Orbital View | NOAA GOES-East Weather Satellite

Solar Eclipse 2024: High-res Orbital View | NOAA GOES-East Weather Satellite

NOAA’s GOES-East weather satellite had a front row seat and unique view of the 2024 solar eclipse, sending back data and imagery every five minutes as the path of totality spanned across North America.

4K video version available here: https://youtu.be/MoDBHIlY9FA

This is a series of high-res images from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-16) capturing the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Fifty-five images stitched together (with transitions) beginning at 16:10 UTC and ending at 20:35 UTC. 

The Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison SSEC tracked the eclipse in near real-time using GOES-East Advanced Baseline Imager and Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) instrument to view of the Earth as well as the Sun behind it: 

The GOES-East and GOES-West satellites provide continuous observation of the atmosphere and weather from Hawaii to Eastern Canada. These images were captured by the Advanced Baseline Imager instrument aboard GOES-East, sending images back to Earth every 5 minutes.

GOES-EAST is the first of the GOES-R series of satellites operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Panning over Spiral Galaxy IC 4633: Hidden in a Dark Cloud | Hubble

Panning over Spiral Galaxy IC 4633: Hidden in a Dark Cloud | Hubble

This is the spiral galaxy IC 4633, located 100 million light-years away from us in the constellation Apus. IC 4633 is a galaxy rich in star-forming activity, as well as hosting an active galactic nucleus at its core. From our point of view, the galaxy is tilted mostly towards us, giving astronomers a fairly good view of its billions of stars. However, we cannot fully appreciate the features of this galaxy—at least in visible light—because it is partially concealed by a stretch of dark dust. A vast, narrow trail of faint gas that snakes over the southern celestial pole, this cloud overlapping IC 4633 has been called the South Celestial Serpent.

Welcome Home, Loral! | NASA's Johnson Space Center

"All smiles after a successful mission and 204 days spent aboard the International Space Station. 🌎"

NASA astronaut Loral is seen here arriving back in Houston, Texas where the Johnson Space Center is located.

O’Hara ended her time in space with a parachute-assisted landing in the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan on Saturday, April 6, 2024.

O’Hara, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy of Russia, and cosmonaut Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus, began the journey back to Earth when the Soyuz undocked from the International Space Station earlier in the day.

O’Hara arrived at the International Space Station on Sept. 15, 2023, spending 204 days in low Earth orbit.

During her 204 days aboard the station, O’Hara experienced:

Approximately 3,264 orbits of Earth

Approximately 86,555,554 statute miles traveled

Eight spacecraft visiting the International Space Station, including two Roscosmos Progress cargo ships, one Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo spacecraft, one Roscosmos Soyuz, two crewed SpaceX Dragons, and two uncrewed SpaceX Dragons.

North America Solar Eclipse View | International Space Station

The International Space Station soared into the Moon’s shadow during the solar eclipse on Monday afternoon, April 8, 2024. The Expedition 71 crew members had an opportunity to view the shadow at the end of their workday filled with cargo transfers, spacesuit maintenance, and microgravity research.

The windows on the cupola, the orbital outpost’s “window to the world,” were open and NASA Flight Engineers Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps were inside photographing and videotaping the Moon’s shadow on Earth, or umbra, beneath them. They were orbiting 260 miles above southeastern Canada as the Moon’s umbra was moving from New York state into Newfoundland.

The space station experienced a totality of about 90% during its flyover period. Views of the solar eclipse itself, the Moon orbiting directly between the sun and the Earth, were only accessible through a pair of windows in the space station’s Roscosmos segment which may not have been accessible due to cargo constraints.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS).
