  • Imaggeo On Monday: Solar eclipse of November 3, 2013, observed from a geostationary orbit
    by Maximilian Reuter on August 30, 2021 at 10:45 am

    The solar eclipse of November 3, 2013, as observed from the MSG satellite, in geostationary orbit 36000km above the equator. The eclipsed area, where the shadow of the full Moon reached the Earth’s surface, moved over the Atlantic Ocean and Africa. This eclipse was classified as a hybrid eclipse because it started out as an annular eclipse […]

    by Chloe Hill on August 27, 2021 at 10:45 am

    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) prepares and publishes extensive Assessment Reports on the scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, including its impacts, future risks, and likely scenarios based on the actions that humanity takes. In their sixth Assessment Report (AR6), the IPCC’s certainty […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Alps highest peak meets folded sea floor
    by Antoine Clausse on August 23, 2021 at 10:45 am

    During the late Jurassic, this dolostone was formerly at the sea floor, but after millions years of tectonic movements and natural forces, these rocks now appear at 3000m! Mont Blanc, the highest peak of the Alps is less than 20km away, and is visible in the background. Thank to the Alpine collision, this former sea floor was thrusted over gneiss […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Onsala Twin Telescopes
    by Armin Corbin on August 16, 2021 at 10:45 am

    “The Onsala Twin Telescopes are part of the global geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) network. Radio telescopes all around the globe are observing extra-galactic radio sources simultaneously to determine Earth orientation parameters, source positions and station coordinates, as well as velocities. Geodetic Very Long Baseline […]
