By recent global standards, February 2021 was relatively cool.
This doesn't mean #climatechange has stopped.
Average February CO2 concentrations at Mauna Loa, the world's benchmark station, were 416.75 parts per million, up from 413.4 ppm in February 2020.

Ever wondered what a meteorite fall would look like on a driveway?
The main mass of rock has been recovered here (the 2nd photo shows a small dent where the rock sat) but the black sooty mark is meteoritic dust produced when the space rock impacted the ground

It’s official. Carbon-bearing material (including organic compounds!) is widespread on Bennu’s surface and present at site Nightingale. So, I'll likely achieve a major mission goal: collecting carbonaceous material.

Did you know that glaciers have plumbing too – and like the pipes in our streets, most of it is hidden beneath our feet?! This week, @DrMikePJ tells you all about #Cryoegg, a wireless subglacial probe developed to explore underneath glaciers! blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/20…

How to see Comet NEOWISE for yourself: It's visible to the naked eye this week, very low in the sky before dawn. Next week it will be easier to find in the evening, but you'll need binoculars for a good view. skyandtelescope.org/press-re…

We're really excited about this: on July 5th - less than two days after it's perihelion - our @USNRL WISPR camera on @NASASun #ParkerSolarProbe captured this beautiful star-filled image of comet C/2020 F3 (#NEOWISE)! Check out them tails!
