RT @NHC_Atlantic: Hurricane Katrina 20th Anniversary: Advancements in Intensity Forecasting (Part 4 of 5)

Friday, August 29 is the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall along the U.S. Gulf coast and devastating the coasts of Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana. A lot has changed since 2005.

In this video, Hurricane Specialist Lisa Bucci talks about the advancements NHC has made since Hurricane Katrina in forecasting how strong a tropical cyclone will get, including our improvements in forecasting rapid intensification.

RT @NASAglenn: Our engineers are advancing a new regenerative fuel cell system, designed to keep missions running through long lunar nights and Martian dust storms!

Go behind the scenes with NASA Glenn research engineer Dr. Kerrigan Cain as he explains how this @NASA_Technology stores energy and generates electricity, all in a closed-loop system.

Regenerative fuel cells could be designed to power a rover or large lunar base — even when sunlight isn't available — making them essential in NASA's mission to return to the Moon and explore beyond.

Lack of data and reporting gaps are hampering global efforts to protect pangolins.

All eight recognised pangolin species remain at high risk of #extinction but the absence of updated data mean the full scale of the situation is not yet understood.
