Carrying a novel P-band synthetic aperture radar, ESA’s Biomass Earth Explorer satellite mission delivers completely new information on forest height and above-ground forest biomass from space. This information will provide new insight into the state of our forests and how they are changing, and further our knowledge of the role forests play in the carbon cycle. -- ESA

Younger Trees Champion Carbon Capture As Seen By ESA’s Biomass Earth Explorer satellite

This series of images shows how astronomers find stellar streams by reversing the light and dark, similar to negative images, but stretched to highlight the faint streams. Color images of each of the nearby galaxies featured are superposed to scale to highlight the easily visible disk. Galaxies are surrounded by enormous halos of hot gas sprinkled with sporadic stars, seen as the shadowy regions that encase each galaxy here. NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is expected to improve on these observations by resolving individual stars to understand each stream’s stellar populations and see stellar streams of various sizes in even more galaxies.

Artist's impression of the Vela pulsar, in the centre, and its magnetosphere, whose edge is marked by the bright circle. The blue tracks travelling outwards represent the paths of accelerated particles. These produce gamma radiation along the arms of a rotating spiral by colliding with infrared photons emitted in the magnetosphere (in red). © Science Communication Lab for DESY
