The Black Marble- Earth at Night 2012
In daylight our big blue marble is all land, oceans and clouds. But the night – the Black Marble – is electric. Scientists are using new images of Earth’s dark side to better understand human activity and natural events. Watch the stunning new video…
Earth’s Magnetosphere behaves like a Sieve
ESA’s quartet of satellites has discovered that Earth’s Magnetosphere behaves like a sieve in orbit, and that our protective magnetic bubble lets the solar wind in under a wider range of conditions than previously believed.
Giant smashup created the Moon

The Pale Blue Dot [video]
From Saturn, Earth would appear too small for Voyager spacecraft to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a lonely point of light. That pale dot, that’s home. That’s us. Earth is a grain of sand in the vast cosmic arena. Carl Sagan pointed out that “all of human history has happened on that tiny pixel (shown here inside a blue circle), which is our only home” (speech at Cornell University, October 13, 1994.)

Earth 100 Million Years From Now
This video shows how today’s continents of the Earth are thought to have evolved over the last 600 million years, and how our planet will be in the next 100 million years. Watch the video
The Electric Space around Earth
The radiation belts that surround Earth, we still don’t know much about them, are home to killer electrons, plasma waves, and intense electrical currents that can disrupt and destroy the electronics on satellites.
