One of the most powerful radar systems ever launched into space has mapped the ground moving beneath one of the fastest subsiding capitals in the world: Mexico City. The findings show how quickly and reliably the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite can track real-time changes across Earth's surface from orbit, unhindered by clouds or vegetation that impede optical sensors and higher-frequency radars.

Mexico City: The Complete Travel Guide to North America's Most Underrated Capital

You arrive expecting one city and find about fifteen of them, stacked on top of an Aztec lake, humming with art, food, and a confidence that doesn't need to announce itself.
