2024 was the warmest year on record. Our experts work with NOAA scientists to track Earth’s average temperature, relying on millions of measurements worldwide. They found this year was hotter than any since at least 1880, the result of human activities. Although there are slight variations from year to year and region to region, overall Earth has been experiencing a long-term warming trend. The past 10 years were the warmest 10 years on record: https://lnkd.in/eM5xBJpK

About us
For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.

Auroras are one of the most beautiful and dramatic spectacles we can see on Earth. Now that we’re in solar maximum–where the Sun is at its peak activity level within its 11-year cycle–auroras are more common, particularly after large solar flares like the one we had recently. Learn how to get the best photos of this phenomenon! https://lnkd.in/eJDHTseJ
