NASA Goes Pink

A growing set of pink-hued NASA images, compiled in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From Earth's topography to far away moons and supernovas...these are a few ways that NASA thinks about pink....

All month, we're "going pink" in support of #BreastCancer

All month, we're "going pink" in support of #BreastCancer.
Here's our International Space Station Research Payload Ops team, who help astronauts and scientists research cancer on the #ISS.

ATLANTIC OCEAN - There are 2 low pressure areas that the National Hurricane

ATLANTIC OCEAN - There are 2 low pressure areas that the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching in the Atlantic, but both have low chances for development. In this image from NOAA's GOES-East satellite, the NHC marked the 2 areas with an "X."
Low #1: A non-tropical low pressure system located about 330 miles south-southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia, is producing gale force
winds and disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This low is
merging with a frontal system and is not expected to acquire
tropical cyclone characteristics. Little motion of this system is
expected during the next few days as it interacts with and becomes
absorbed by an upper-level low approaching from the northeast coast of the United States. It has a near ZERO chance for development.
Low #2 This small area of low pressure located about 840 miles northeast of Bermuda is moving rapidly toward the north-northeast and is producing disorganized showers. Tropical cyclone formation is not anticipated due to strong upper-level winds and cooler sea
surface temperatures. Also has a near ZERO chance of development.

 

CENTRAL PACIFIC- No tropical cyclones

 

 CENTRAL PACIFIC- No tropical cyclones are expected through late Friday night. Here's a look at the Pacific Ocean today from NOAA's GOES-West satellite. You can see Tropical Storm Simon near the southwestern Mexico coast (far right).

NW PACIFIC *Full Update* NASA Image Shows Typhoon Phanfone's Pinhole Eye
Typhoon Phanfone's eye appeared the size of a pinhole on visible imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite on Oct.3. On Thursday, Oct. 2, Typhoon Phanfone's maximum sustained winds strengthened to 100 knots (126.6 mph/ 203.7 kph). STORY/IMAGE:

NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN - System 90W Still Organizing

 

 

 

 

NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN - System 90W Still Organizing
System 90W still has an ill-defined center of circulation on satellite imagery today. Despite that, System 90W is generating a large area of strong thunderstorms (deep convection), so the Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted that it has a high chance for development into a tropical cyclone. It is centered near 6.0 north latitude and 163.7 east longitude, about 330 nautical miles east of Pohnpei in the Caroline Islands –one of the four Federated States of Micronesia.
