NASA has released new data offering detailed air pollution observations down to neighborhood levels. This data comes from the TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) instrument, launched last year to enhance air quality observation from space.

NASA has launched the first of two shoebox-size CubeSats to help scientists understand the behavior of clouds and water vapor at Earth's polar regions and their impact on climate. The first satellite of the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) mission was launched from New Zealand on May 25. The second CubeSat is scheduled to launch on June 1.

New images of Jupiter's moon Io, captured by the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) on Mount Graham in Arizona, present the highest resolution of Io achieved with an Earth-based instrument. This feat was made possible by the SHARK-VIS instrument and the LBT's adaptive optics system, which counteracts atmospheric turbulence.
