The Sun is near the maximum phase of the solar cycle, so the solar magnetic field is evolving rapidly. This predictive model is updated in near real-time with the latest measurements of the surface magnetic field. This animation shows how the Sun and the prediction are evolving with time.

Newcastle University Research Shows Climate Change Causes Methane To Be Released From The Deep Ocean
Researchers have found that frozen methane trapped under our oceans, is vulnerable to melting due to climate change and could be released into the sea.
A team of researchers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama have created a simulation of the Apollo 12 lander engine plumes interacting with the lunar surface. The simulation animation illustrates the last 30 seconds of descent before the engine cut-off, and it shows the predicted forces that the plumes would exert on a flat computational surface. These forces are known as shear stress, which is the amount of lateral or sideways force applied over a specific area. It is the leading cause of erosion as fluids flow across a surface. The fluctuating radial patterns in the animation illustrate the intensity of predicted shear stress, with dark purple representing lower shear stress and yellow representing higher shear stress. The credits for this simulation go to...
