Australian Bushfire Has Grown to Size of Melbourne, NASA Image Shows
2014-02-13 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: A fire rivaling the size of the city of Melbourne is raging in southeastern Australia, as a NASA satellite image taken at night earlier this week shows. The Snowy River Complex Fire, which is burning mountain forests near a remote national park, is one of three bushfires that flared up last weekend. Fueled by strong winds combined with a heat wave and prolonged dry conditions, the three fires have consumed more than 180,000 hectares (695 square miles), about 100,000 (390 square miles) of which burned...

NASA is building a robotic spacecraft refueling system, to prevent a Gravity-like orbital debris cascade
2014-02-13 15:30:00| Extremetech
NASA is preparing to take the next logical step after in-flight refueling between two aircraft -- robotic refueling of orbiting satellites. This could extend the lifetime of many satellites indefinitely, and could play a very important role in preventing a Gravity-like scenario, where fragments of a single satellite cause a cascade of debris that destroys almost every satellite in Earth orbit.

NASA Image of Alaska Depicts Spring-like Temperatures and Thaw
2014-02-04 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment 360: NASA Earth Observatory Alaskas warm January As the continental U.S. faced frigid weather and major winter storms in January, Alaska experienced record high temperatures. A map based on NASA satellite data shows that the last half of January was one of the warmest winter periods in Alaskas history, with temperatures as much as 40 degrees F (22 C) above normal on some days in the central and western portions of the state. A high pressure system off the state's western coast sent warm air and rain...
