Watching carbon dioxide from space

This animation is a global visualization of the first year of carbon dioxide measurements (Sept. 2014 - Sept. 2015) from NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 mission. Each map represents a 16-day cycle and shows average concentrations of carbon dioxide between the top of the atmosphere and Earth’s surface. An increase in carbon dioxide in the northern hemisphere is clearly visible during winter, when trees are not removing carbon dioxide. In spring, the carbon dioxide decreases as trees start to grow.

Moose population in North America

The moose ( Alces alces ) is the largest member of the deer family, characterized by its massive size, long legs, and distinctive broad, palmate antlers found in males. They have a dark brown or black coat and a humped shoulder. Moose are primarily found in the boreal and mixed deciduous forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. They are solitary animals, often found near bodies of water, and are herbivores that feed on leaves, bark, twigs, and aquatic vegetation. Despite their size, moose are strong swimmers and can run up to 35 miles per hour. The moose population in North America is shrinking swiftly. This decrease has been correlated to the opening of roadways and landscapes into this animal's north range. In North America, the moose range includes almost all of Canada and Alaska, the northern part of New England and New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Isle Royale. In 2014-2015, the North Americ...
