An astronaut onboard the International Space Station shot this oblique photograph while looking out across Morocco, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean at the Strait of Gibraltar. The centerpiece of the image is the Atlas Mountains, which stretch 2,500 kilometers (1,500 miles) through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
Westerly winds from the Atlantic Ocean carry moisture into the region, but the mountains act as a weather barrier between the coastal grasslands and wetlands and the Sahara Desert. The Atlas Range causes a rain shadow effect, preventing the areas beyond the mountains from receiving much rainfall. During the winter months, the highest peaks of the Atlas Mountains are among the few parts of Africa to see snow. ❄️ The wetter regions along the Moroccan coastline include many Ramsar “Wetlands of International Importance,” which serve as wintering sites for migratory waterbirds.
Beyond the mountains, the dry climate of Morocco’s deserts creates an advantageous landscape for meteorite hunting. Strong winds and the lack of plant cover expose dark-colored meteorites and craters, which stand out against the light-colored sand. The dry climate preserves extraterrestrial rocks far better than a humid climate.

This week we celebrate the International Space Station’s 20th anniversary in space! Astronauts have been on board the ISS continuously since 2000 and have taken pictures of Earth throughout that time. This week we are looking back at images from ISS missions over time. Here are photos taken from 2010 – 2014: Aurora Australis over Antarctica (2010), Spain and Portugal at night (2011), the transit of Venus crossing paths between the Earth and the Sun (2012), polar mesospheric clouds over the South Pacific Ocean (2013), the Hawaiian Islands (2014). Articles written about these images are found here: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/Collections/EarthObservatory/

[] Voici à quoi ressemble la floraison de phytoplancton, vue du ciel, dans le golfe de la Finlande ! Un phénomène magnifique observé par la @nasa !⠀
——⠀
Ces plantes peuvent couvrir des milliers de kilomètres dans les bassins de l'Atlantique Nord et de l'océan Arctique.⠀
——⠀
L'énorme densité de phytoplancton, dans cette zone, change la couleur de la surface de l’eau créant ainsi de beaux motifs tourbillonnants !!⠀

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) shot the photograph of the Betsiboka River Delta in #Madagascar. The braided Betsiboka River carries sediment from the island’s high central plateau and mountains toward the western coast, where it empties into Bombetoka Bay and the Mozambique Channel. The delta is comprised of complex woven channels flowing between vegetated islands of built up sediment. The small islands have erosional features along their edges where water flows down into the river channels.
Historical maps of Madagascar describe the sandy to clay-rich soils around the Betsiboka River as terres rouges, or “red lands.” (The island was a French territory from 1895 to 1960.) They were describing laterites—soils rich in iron oxides—that form in tropical climates from the chemical breakdown of iron-rich rocks. These soils and sediments lend the river a rusty orange color when the island experiences heavy seasonal rain or downpours from tropical cyclones. More than 30 years of astronaut photography have captured the delta evolving and islands growing from this sediment.
The heavy sediment loads in the waters are also a result of extensive deforestation on the island since the 1950s. Since that time, at least 40 percent of Madagascar’s forest cover has been cut down. Slash-and-burn agricultural practices, livestock overgrazing, and wildfires have dramatically altered the island’s mangrove forests. So the Betsiboka River now cuts across thick, unstable soils that are prone to erosion.
Mangrove trees create the dark areas within the small lenses of land. Mangroves thrive in estuaries, where salty sea water mixes with fresh water from the Betsiboka. The landscape helped Madagascar develop rich biodiversity, with a high number of plant and animal species endemic only to the island.

Recently, astronauts living and working on board the @iss captured these images of the @SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on its Demo-1 flight test. The photos were taken of the Crew Dragon arrival and from inside one of the spacecraft’s windows overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The successful docking and undocking of Crew Dragon was a critical step in NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

Africa and Europe from a Million Miles Away
Africa is front and center in this image of Earth taken by a NASA camera on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite. The image, taken a vantage point one million miles from Earth, was one of the first taken by NASAs Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC). Europe is toward the top of the image with the Sahara Desert to the south, showing the Nile River flowing to the Mediterranean Sea through Egypt. The photographic-quality color image was generated by combining three separate images of the entire Earth taken a few minutes apart. The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters, from ultraviolet to near infrared,to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used in these Earth images, breathtaking ✨ #space #spacex #deepspace #solarsystem #nasa #earth #explore #science #cosmos #nebula #interstellar #earth #science #explore #solarsytem #deepspace #elonmusk #nasajpl #science #explore #fromspace #europe #africa
