Look on the Bright Side of Earth
Rehovot, Israel (SPX) Feb 27, 2023
When looking at the Earth from space, its hemispheres - northern and southern - appear equally bright. This is particularly unexpected because the Southern Hemisphere is mostly covered with dark oceans, whereas the Northern Hemisphere has a vast land area that is much brighter than these oceans. For years, the brightness symmetry between hemispheres remained a mystery.

Satellite successfully monitors power plant CO2 emissions from space
Beijing, China (SPX) Feb 27, 2023
The CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants are a major source of carbon emissions in China. However, the existing emission inventory does not accurately reflect current emissions because of a lag in the statistical data and the accuracy limit for emissions factor.

SpaceX crew launch to ISS postponed
A rocket launch to the International Space Station was postponed minutes before take-off on Monday, with officials citing a problem with ground systems.
The SpaceX Dragon Crew-6 mission was scheduled to depart the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1:45 am (0645 GMT), carrying two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and the second Emirati to voyage to space.
But just two minutes before lift-off, the launch was called off, or "scrubbed".
"Today's #Crew6 launch has been scrubbed due to an issue with ground systems," NASA posted on Twitter.
SpaceX unloaded fuel from its Falcon 9 rocket and the crew disembarked, NASA added in a statement.
"The next available launch attempt is at 12:34 a.m. EST Thursday, March 2, pending resolution of the technical issue preventing Monday's launch," it said.
"I'm proud of the NASA and SpaceX teams' focus and dedication to keeping Crew-6 safe," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in the statement.
