Contrary to Earth, our Moon has no active volcanoes, and the traces of its past volcanic activity date from billions of years ago. This is surprising, because…
New clues as to how the Earth's remote ecosystems have been influenced by the industrial revolution are locked, frozen in the ice of glaciers. That is the…

NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Tropical Storm Giovanna on February 16 at 11:23 UTC (6:23 a.m. EST) as it was moving south in the Mozambique Channel.hunderstorms west of the center still appeared strong, and had high cloud tops. Cloud top temperatures were high enough to reach the -63F/-52.7C threshold, indicating powerful storms. Those strong thunderstorms appeared to be mostly over water and not affecting southwestern Madagascar although Giovanna appeared to be hugging the coastline….
