We're back, and so are the #NorthernLights! 🌌 @NOAA's @JPSSprogram polar-orbiting satellites captured this dazzling #aurora composite imagery of North America from Nov. 11-12. Did you see them from the ground? If so, we'd love to see your photos! 📸

Yesterday marked the #AutumnEquinox. See how greenery across the United States changed from June through mid-September 2025, as the seasons shift from summer to fall. 🌳🍂


Wildfire smoke from British Columbia, Canada, is seen in this observation from the #VIIRS instrument onboard the #NOAA20 satellite on Sept. 17, 2025. Several fires are highlighted as red dots, with smoke drifting northeast across the northwestern U.S. and southwestern Canada.

It's #WhereInTheWorld Wednesday! On August 11, 2025, #NOAA21 captured this sapphire of a freshwater lake, known as the "Caribbean of the Rockies" due to its unique color caused by limestone deposits. It's over 250,000 years old and formed by tectonic activity.
