The skies are busy and the Asteroid Belt has been generous this month. March has seen THREE meteorite falls so far and two in the last week! ☄️ ☄️ ☄️
💥💥 Two of these new falls impacted homes where people live! Luckily there were no injuries.
🔗 News and details about these events are in the latest issue of my newsletter here - https://mailchi.mp/d850c1a4a075/new-germany-fall-9317649

Eines der schärfsten Bilder, das jemals vom Nordpol des #Saturn aufgenommen wurde, zeigt einen perfekt symmetrischen, sechseckigen Sturm, der seit Jahrzehnten tobt.
Dieser gewaltige Sturm erstreckt sich über mehr als 30.000 km und ist damit größer als die Erde selbst.

#PPOD: When they form, impact craters dig up material from below the surface and throw it outwards into what geologists call an ejecta blanket. The fastest ejected material travels the furthest, so material from different depths can end up at different distances from the crater.
This HiRISE image shows a pedestal crater in Arcadia Planitia, Mars, with material of varying brightness and color at different distances from the crater.

In this image, taken by the JunoCam instrument from about 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) above the moon, Io’s night side [left lobe] is illuminated by “Jupitershine,” which is sunlight reflected from the planet’s surface.
