Hurricane Melissa Cat 5 Approaches Jamaica: 2025 Strongest Storm
October 27, 2025, Jamaica, Caribbean Sea: Monster Hurricane Melissa strengthened into a Category 5 storm Monday as it approaches Jamaica. Forecasters said it could unleash catastrophic flooding and landslides. Slow moving Melissa, is the strongest storm of 2025, packing winds of 175 mph (281 km) and will be the strongest storm to ever hit Jamaica. Possible 40 inches of rain, 13 feet of storm surge and 160 mph sustained winds causing “extensive infrastructure damage†that will cut off communities, the National Hurricane Center warned. Melissa has already killed 3 people in Haiti and Jamaica each and one person in the Dominican Republic. (Credit Image: © NOAA/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

NEWS - NASA zeigt Rückgang des Wasserstands im Lake Mead über 20 Jahre, Arizona, USA
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Shutterstock (13051635a)
This image, taken by NASA's Landsat 8 satellite on July 3, 2022, details a 22-year downward trend of Lake Mead's water levels, which now stand at their lowest since April 1937, when the reservoir was filled with water for the first time. As of July 18, 2022, Lake Mead was filled to just 27 percent of capacity. The largest reservoir in the United States supplies water to millions of people across seven states, tribal lands, and northern Mexico. It now also provides a stark illustration of climate change and a long-term drought that may be the worst in the U.S. West in 12 centuries.

The detailed images below include a view from Landsat 8 taken on July 8, 2021 (middle). The light-colored fringes along the shorelines of Lake Mead in 2021 and 2022 are mineralized areas of the lakeshore that were formerly underwater when the reservoir was filled closer to capacity. The phenomenon is often referred to as a "bathtub ring." As of July 18, 2022, Lake Mead was filled to just 27 percent of capacity. The largest reservoir in the United States supplies water to millions of people across seven states, tribal lands, and northern Mexico. It now also provides a stark illustration of climate change and a long-term drought that may be the worst in the U.S. West in 12 centuries.

NASA: Roiling Flows on Holuhraun Lava Field, Iceland, Sep 2014
MANDATORY CREDIT: /Jesse AllenNASA/Rex Features. Only for use in story about NASA.
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jesse Allen/NASA/REX (4103955a)
As an island in the moist, atmospherically turbulent North Atlantic, Iceland is often shrouded in cloud cover and hard to observe from space. And lately, the island is making some of its own cloud cover, as the Earth has split open between the Bardarbunga and Askja volcanoes and spewed lava and hot gas.
The view of the Holuhraun lava field has been spectacular from the ground and from low-flying aircraft. Infrared imaging makes the view spectacular from space, too.
On September 6, 2014, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured this view of the ongoing eruption. The false-color images combine shortwave infrared, near infrared, and green light (OLI bands 6-5-3).
Ice and the plume of steam and sulfur dioxide appear cyan and bright blue, while liquid water is navy blue. Bare or rocky ground around the Holuhraun lava field appears in shades of green or brown in this band combination. Fresh lava is bright orange and red.

Top five NASA Landsat observation satellites images of Earth - 24 Jul 2012

5th Place
Top five NASA Landsat Satellites Images of Earth
During a span of 40 years, since 1972, the Landsat series of Earth observation satellites has become a vital reference worldwide for understanding scientific issues related to land use and natural resources.
Beyond the scientific information they supply, some Landsat images are simply striking to look at, presenting spectacular views of mountains, valleys, and islands as well as forests, grasslands, and agricultural patterns.
By selecting certain features and colouring them from a digital palate, the U.S. Geological Survey has created a series of "Earth as Art" perspectives that demonstrate an artistic resonance in satellite land imagery and provide a special avenue of insight about the geography of each scene.
NASA asked the public to vote on their favourite images from the more than 120 images in the online "Earth as Art" collection. From over 14,000 votes the top five winners were:
1st Place: Van Gogh from Space Landsat 7 Acquired 7/13/2005. In the style of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night," massive congregations of greenish phytoplankton swirl in the dark water around Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. Population explosions, or blooms, of phytoplankton, like the one shown here, occur when deep currents bring nutrients up to sunlit surface waters, fuelling the growth and reproduction of these tiny plants.
2nd Place: Yukon Delta Landsat 7 Acquired 9/22/2002. Countless lakes, sloughs, and ponds are scattered throughout this scene of the Yukon Delta in southwest Alaska. One of the largest river deltas in the world, and protected as part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, the river's sinuous waterways seem like blood vessels branching out to enclose an organ.
3rd Place: Meandering Mississippi Landsat 7 Acquired 5/28/2003. ...
