202 1, 1, 65438+3, Copernicus' Sentinel 3 satellite took this photo from space. You can see that most parts of Spain are covered with thick snow. This photo was taken at 5: 40am on June 2nd, 65438 EDT, showing that most parts of Spain were covered by the snowstorm Filomena, which brought the worst snowfall to Spain in 50 years.
Copernicus's Sentinel 3 is a mission consisting of two satellites, which uses various instruments to observe and monitor the earth's surface from above.
On 202119, Copernicus's Sentinel 2 saw the Tanezruft Basin in south-central Algeria, North Africa, which is a very desolate area in the western Sahara desert. This amazing, sandy and Ceylon landscape. This extremely arid plain is an area with high temperature, water shortage and sparse vegetation, and is even called "the land of terror". This photo was taken as part of Copernicus' Sentinel 2 mission and the Copernican project of the European Space Agency.
On February 5th, 20021year, the Copernicus Sentinel 2 mission of the European Space Agency took this cold photo of new york City covered with snow on February 4th, 20021year. The recent snowstorm is classified as a "big" snowstorm, which affects most parts of the northeastern United States. New York state declared a double state of emergency of heavy snow and strong winds.
Copernicus' Sentinel 2 is an earth observation mission, which consists of Sentinel 2A and Sentinel 2B. The couple observed and photographed our planet from space.
On 20021May 12, Copernicus "Sentinel 2" captured the fire cloud generated by the fire near the town of Oymyakan in northeast Siberia near the Arctic Circle.
For many years, Siberia has been plagued by forest fires. According to the data of Russian Federal Forestry Bureau, more than 400 forest fires have been reported since the beginning of 20021,especially in Tyumen, omsk and Novosibirsk. Many of the current fires may have started in 2020 and survived when the peatlands smoldered in winter. Although the temperature is as low as MINUS 50 degrees, these "zombie fires" will wake up again in the coming spring.
Forest fires are part of the vicious cycle of climate change. Due to rising temperatures and frequent droughts, the frequency and scale of wildfires are increasing. At the same time, the fire released a lot of carbon dioxide, which further aggravated global warming.
According to the data of Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Bureau of the European Union, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by forest fires in the Arctic in the summer of 2020 is 2.44 trillion tons, which is 35% higher than the previous emission record set in 20 19.
202 1 May 21day, great pyramid of giza, also known as pyramid of khufu, was captured by Airbus' new Pléiades Neo 3 satellite. Neo 3 was launched at the end of April this year, and its details are as small as 30 cm. This 147.6-meter-high pyramid image is part of the first test image taken by the satellite in early May. The pyramids are made up of pieces of limestone, and its image is as striking as that of tourists visiting world-famous archaeological sites in the suburbs of Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
On May 24th, 200212002, the Earth observation satellite of NASA, the American-made artificial satellite (AQUA), captured the smoke rising from wildfire after the early heat wave in Manitoba, Canada.
In the second week of May, most of Lake Winnipeg was still covered with ice and snow. In may 19, the temperature in this area soared to 30~33. Since last autumn, southern Manitoba and neighboring Saskatchewan have been suffering from drought, resulting in extreme drought and making the area prone to wildfires.
In the photo taken on May 18, the smoke spread to the northwest, then to Hudson Bay and finally to the interior of Canada. There are also reports of fires in other places.
On May 28th, 200212002, the astronauts aboard the International Space Station captured a super bloody lunar eclipse, when they circled the earth at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour. The orbital height of the space station is 400 kilometers, and it takes about 90 minutes to circle the earth, which means that the time for astronauts to see this celestial wonder is definitely shorter than that for astronomers on earth. But the advantage of space-based commanding heights lies in the cloudless sky in Wan Li.
This total lunar eclipse is the only one in 202 1 year. The best observation sites are in the Pacific Ocean, including Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and Papua New Guinea, but astronomical observers in the western United States and East Asia can enjoy at least some of them, although many observers are disappointed with the cloudy weather in their areas.
202 1 June1day, this photo taken by the European sentinel 2 satellite shows that the snowfall in the Atacama desert in Chile was as high as15cm in May. The Atacama Desert extends from central Chile to southern Peru along the Pacific coast of South America, with an average annual rainfall of less than 1.5 cm, which is generally considered as one of the driest places on earth.
In this photo, Flamengo National Reserve near the border of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia is covered with rain clouds. The reserve is located at the foot of the Andes, and the annual rainfall is usually 3 mm. According to the forecast of the Chilean Meteorological Bureau, this unusual snowfall will not last in the next few weeks, and the region will return to the usual dry and sunny climate.
On July 2, 200212002, a large-scale fire triggered a record heat wave in western Canada, which was captured by the European sentinel 2 satellite. According to the data of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Sentinel 2 runs at an altitude of 786 kilometers from the Earth, but it can even be seen by geosynchronous orbit satellites 36,000 kilometers from the Earth due to the huge scale of wildfire.
The fire in this photo happened near Litton, British Columbia, 200 kilometers northwest of Vancouver. This happened in the last days of June, when the temperature reached a record 49 degrees. The fire forced residents to leave their homes, and many houses were later destroyed by the fire.
Early images taken by Sentinel 3 on June 27th showed that the surface temperature near Litton reached 63℃ a few days before the fire.
