NASA revealed the true color of the oceans

US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (a pot) released the first images taken by the satellite a step (plankton, aerosol, cloud, ocean ecosystem), which reveals the truth Visual appearance of the oceans From Earth’s orbit.

This satellite was launched in February 8is part of a climate mission aimed at providing important measurements around the world Air qualityhe climate And the The way light is reflected In water and across oceans.

Place by Place: What images did NASA’s PACE satellite obtain?

Below we show you the pictures Which travels the world because it surprises everyone.

Kamchatka Peninsula

On the eastern end of Russia Have been found Kamchatka Peninsulawhich covers an area similar to the size of Colorado, but is home to more than 100 volcanoes.

Hokkaido and Sakhalin Islands

Show both pictures Hokkaido, the second largest island in Japan, and the Russian island of Sakhalin. However, they are used Different ranges of latitude.

Shown in the image on the left, published by NASA The true color of the oceanwhile the image on the right uses a Shortwave infrared image Which detects reflected light in colors that are not visible to the human eye.

Siberia

North Pole

– NASA Arctic

Recent discoveries reveal that Permafrost melting And the Flow of carbon-rich water From the Mackenzie River in Canada it causes part of the Arctic Ocean They emit more carbon dioxide (CO2) than they absorb.

The intense light blue color observed in several areas of the Caribbean Sea is due to Shallow water And transparent That allows Sunlight penetrates the bottom From the sea. This light reflects from below and returns to the surface, creating that distinctive tone when looking up at the sky.

Mississippi River

The river carries large quantities of Sediments And Nutrients In the comment. In certain areas, excess nutrients can lead to massive bacterial proliferation AlgaeThis leads to the depletion of oxygen in the water, a phenomenon known as eutrophication.

Gulf of California

this area Rich in biodiversityAnd housing approx 900 species of fishThey represent 39% of the total marine mammal species in the world and a third of marine cetacean species such as whales, dolphins and porpoises.

An Argentine team will submit a lunar exploration rover to NASA

Led team Engineers from The Balsero Institute, in collaboration with Spacebee Technologies, has developed a lunar exploration vehicle they call RoverTito. This, which is small in size, will be submitted in June to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), along with the Aónikenk website, which allows you to view lunar events in 3D.

Rover Tito led Engineers Tomás Leandro and Lautaro MendietaIt is distinguished by its innovative design and small size, which distinguishes it from other rovers produced by different countries. The team was selected as the winner of the “NASA SpaceApps Challenge 2023” He is working on improving the vehicle to present it to the US Space Agency.
