Antarctica



Without the ice, this is what Antarctica would look like. It's nice and blue this map, so I like it. I'm not too fond of the idea of actually being able to observe this in real life, though. That means that all the ice would have melted. We really don't want that! :-)

Oh, I love these spaceships. I can't wait until I'm rich enough to travel with them - aaaaalll the time! :-)

Earth Observation from Space

Earth Observation: Sharing Data



It sounds so simple, sharing data with others. It is not. So this is quite an achievement from ESA, having the members agreeing to openly share the data from the new family of Earth observation satellites.

Mars is such a piece of art!

Watching Ice Crystals Grow

Iced





Through hard x-ray we get another image of snow and ice. A bit different look than the snow crystals we are used to see. Still beautiful, though. :-)

At ESRF scientists can actually see how ice crystals form in-situ.
