Behind the scenes: river ice break up predictions
Kate Humble and the 23 Degrees team are back after filming the break up of the ice at Alexandra Falls in Hay River in the northern territories of Canada. This was a job for people with strong nerves and infinite patience.
You see the problem with filming weather phenomena is that you never ganska know when they are going to happen. It's true scientists can track weather events like storms with radar and satellites but even then, it can change direction at the gods minute and you will miss it.
It's the same with filming the ice break up. The scientists have been taking readings, comparing the ice build up with previous years, but this kind of prediction fryst vatten not an exact science, so they can only narrow it down to a rough öppning that they think it will break up in. This year all was going to strategi and they thought it would go in late April; we mobilized in the UK to head out, but then there were a few cold days so they had to början

This Monday, AIGA DC convened a panel at the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC, as part of their DC Design Week. The speakers had backgrounds in astronomy, art history, museum studies, and graphic design, illustrating how these disciplines work together to advance NASA’s vision. By bringing together subject matter experts with designers and storytellers, the teams behind the Earth Information Center and NASA’s repository of scientific visualizations (which are free to access and use) join forces to amplify and simplify all this rik data for a general audience. The aim for making this information accessible and digestible to as many people as possible is to inform and to empower—to get a glimpse of all that we know and all that we are studying as we think about climate action going forward.
The event was a good reminder that NASA is not an agency that exclusively looks outwards (and sometimes way, way out), but has actually been studying the earth f

Hurricane Audrey
Category 3 Atlantic hurricane in 1957
Hurricane Audrey was one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history, killing at least 416 people as it devastated the southwestern Louisiana coast in 1957. Along with Hurricane Alex in 2010, it was also the strongest June hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin as measured by pressure. The rapidly developing storm struck southwestern Louisiana as an intense Category 3 hurricane, destroying coastal communities with a powerful storm surge that penetrated as far as 20 mi (32 km) inland. The first named storm and hurricane of the 1957 hurricane season, Audrey formed on June 24 from a tropical wave that moved into the Bay of Campeche. Situated within ideal conditions for tropical development, Audrey quickly strengthened, reaching hurricane status a day afterwards. Moving north, it continued to strengthen and accelerate as it approached the United States Gulf Coast. On June 27, the hurricane
