Ozone Hole Continues Healing in 2024 - NASA Earth Observatory
Oct 30, 2024 · A hole that opens annually in the ozone layer over Earth’s southern pole was relatively small in 2024 compared to other years. Scientists with NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) project the ozone layer could fully recover by 2066.
2024 Was the Warmest Year on Record - NASA Earth Observatory
Jan 10, 2025 · Earth’s average surface temperature in 2024 was the warmest on record, according to an analysis led by NASA scientists. Global temperatures in 2024 were 1.28 degrees Celsius (2.30 degrees Fahrenheit) above the agency’s 20th-century baseline (1951–1980), which tops the record set in 2023.

Planetary Motion: The History of an Idea That Launched the …
Many ancient and medieval cultures believed the stars and the planets rotated around a fixed Earth. The complex motions of the planets—which sometimes move backwards across the sky (retrograde motion, shown in the photo)—led Renaissance astronomers to question this geocentric theory.These astronomers discovered the laws of orbital mechanics, transforming …
Charting the Exceptional, Unexpected Heat of 2023 and 2024
This chart shows Schmidt’s expectation for how much monthly temperatures from January 2023 to August 2024 would differ from NASA’s 1951-1980 baseline (also known as an anomaly).The expectation (represented as the dashed line in the chart) was based on an equation that calculates global average temperature based on the most recent 20-year rate of warming …
