Alborz Mountains in the Planet Image Gallery Planet Labs operates the world's largest fleet of Earth imaging satellites to frequently image the entire planet and provide open access to that information.

Tiny satellites show us the Earth as it changes in near-real-time Satellite imaging has revolutionized our knowledge of the Earth, with detailed images of nearly every street corner readily available online. But Planet Labs' Will Marshall says we can do better and go faster -- by getting smaller. He introduces his tiny satellites -- no bigger than 10 by 10 by 30 c…

The flower-shaped starshade that might help us detect Earth-like planets Astronomers believe that every star in the galaxy has a planet, one fifth of which might harbor life. Only we haven't seen any of them -- yet. Jeremy Kasdin and his team are looking to change that with the design and engineering of an extraordinary piece of equipment: a flower petal-shaped "starshad…

A Quick Guide to Earth Explorer for Landsat 8 : Elegant Figures : Blogs The Landsat Data Continuity Mission is now Landsat 8, and that means images are now public (woohoo!). NASA handed control of the satellite to the USGS yesterday (May 30, 2013), and calibrated imagery is available through the Earth Explorer. Unfortunately, the Earth Explorer interface is a bit of a p…

Greg Asner: Ecology from the air

Ecology from the air What are our forests really made of? From the air, ecologist Greg Asner uses a spectrometer and high-powered lasers to map nature in meticulous kaleidoscopic 3D detail -- what he calls “a very high-tech accounting system” of carbon. In this fascinating talk, Asner gives a clear message: To save our…

It's , but for us, it's the 2nd annual . Today, we'll post pics & info about black holes.

This black hole naps amid chaos, like a post-sale shopper.

Nearly a decade ago, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory caught signs of what appeared to be a black hole snacking on gas at the middle of the nearby Sculptor galaxy. Now, NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), which sees higher-energy X-ray light, has taken a peek and found the black hole asleep.

The slumbering black hole is about 5 million times the mass of our sun. It lies at the center of the Sculptor galaxy, also known as NGC 253, a so-called starburst galaxy actively giving birth to new stars. At 13 million light-years away, this is one of the closest starbursts to our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is all around more quiet than the Sculptor galaxy. It makes far fewer new stars, and its behemoth black hole, about 4 million times the mass of our sun, is also snoozing.

The findings are teaching astronomers how galaxies grow over time. Nearly all galaxies are suspected to harbor supermassive black holes at their hearts. In the most massive of these, the black holes are thought to grow at the same rate that new stars form, until blasting radiation from the black holes ultimately shuts down star formation. In the case of the Sculptor galaxy, astronomers do not know if star formation is winding down or ramping up.

Seen here is the Sculptor galaxy is seen in a new light, in this composite image from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and the European Southern Observatory in Chile.

Rosetta and Philae Go for separation Following a night of critical Go/NoGo decisions, Rosetta and Philae are cleared for separation, despite a problem onboard the lander.

Any guesses on what is featured in this image? Captured by our latest satellite, WorldView-3, it showcases its high resolution capabilities.

Mineral Mining in China

Lake Qarhan is the largest salt lake in China, covering some 5,856 square kilometers (2,261 square miles). The lake is a playa, a basin that fills with water only occasionally. The playa contains nine smaller but more permanent shallow salt lakes. The largest of these lakes is Dabuxun, shown in this image taken by the Landsat 8 satellite on November 15, 2013. Located on the a high plateau, water evaporates readily from the shallow lakes, leaving behind an abundance of minerals, including sodium chloride, potassium, bromine, halite, gypsum, and magnesium chloride. The square evaporation ponds shown here are used to mine those minerals.

The minerals have had a long time to build up in the lake. Qarhan may be the remnant of an ancient salt lake that existed two million years ago. Over time, the water has dissolved minerals from the rocks and then redeposited them in crystal form after evaporation again and again. The result is a high concentration of minerals in the lakes and evaporation ponds, as well and a rim of white mineral ore around the banks. Cold and arid, the playa now gets about 28 to 44 millimeters (1-2 inches) of precipitation per year, but loses about 3,000 mm (118 inches) to evaporation, so the dissolution-evaporation process continues.

The minerals are valuable for a number of industries. Sodium chloride is table salt. Potassium (potash) is a key ingredient in fertilizer and is used in a number of other industrial processes. China’s largest potassium production industry, including the Qinghai potash fertilizer plant, is centered around Lake Qarhan.

New $500 Million Satellite Can See You From 383 Miles Away Satellite Imaging Photograph by Benjamin Rasmussen for Bloomberg Businessweek Most people use satellites every day. They capture the super-realistic images on and Bing maps. A wide array of corporate customers use these eyes in the sky for more specific targets, from mining companies looking for telltale clues of underground deposits to defense departments hunting for terrorists.
