It may look like a piece of art, but this map is helping us understand the complex geological processes on Pluto. Producing such maps is important for gauging what processes have operated where, and when they occurred relative to other processes at work. Details:http://go.nasa.gov/1Qb4AYZ #PlutoFlyby
We’re hiring astronauts, and applications close on Feb. 18! Join astronaut Serena Auñón for a TweetChat tomorrow at 3 p.m. EST to ask about the job. Use #BeAnAstronaut for your questions.
How do increases in water storage on land impact sea level rise? A new study shows that while ice sheets and glaciers continue to melt, changes in weather and climate over the past decade have caused Earth’s continents to soak up and store an extra 3.2 trillion tons of water, temporarily slowing the rate of sea level rise by about 20 percent.

#LIGO scientists discovered Einstein’s gravitational waves…but what are they? Find out here: http://nasa.tumblr.com/…/13912…/what-are-gravitational-waves
Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves a century ago. Now, the detection of these waves has been announced. Scientists are interested in observing and characterizing gravitational waves to learn more about the sources producing them and about gravity itself.

Detailed maps of the world’s natural landscapes created using our satellite data could help scientists better predict the impacts of future climate change. The maps of forests, grasslands and other productive ecosystems provide the most complete picture yet of how carbon from the atmosphere is reused and recycled by Earth’s natural ecosystems.
