In this captivating video, we sit down with a NASA scientist to explore the question: Are hurricanes getting stronger? With climate change becoming an increasingly urgent concern, understanding the dynamics of hurricanes is crucial. Join us as we delve into the latest research and data to uncover whether hurricanes are indeed intensifying in strength. The NASA scientist provides valuable insights into the factors influencing hurricane development and how human activities may be contributing to these changes. Through compelling visuals and expert analysis, we aim to break down complex scientific concepts into easily digestible information. From rising sea surface temperatures to atmospheric conditions, we explore the intricate mechanisms that drive hurricane behavior. Whether you're a weather enthusiast, concerned about climate change, or simply curious about the forces shaping our planet, this video offers a comprehensive exploration of the current state of hurricanes and the potential implications for the future. Gain a deeper understanding of the science behind these powerful storms and the role we play in their evolution. Tune in for a thought-provoking journey into the world of hurricanes and climate science, guided by the expertise of a NASA scientist on the forefront of atmospheric research.

Before Jessica Watkins was an astronaut, she was a geologist. Now working on the International Space Station, Jessica and her fellow astronauts are preparing to explore the Moon and beyond. But collecting and investigating rocks on other worlds is very different from digging dirt here on Earth. That’s where tools engineer Adam Naids comes in. Tools designed for Earth geologists may not work in the lower gravity and extreme temperatures of the Moon, and that’s before you bring in the bulky spacesuits! NASA Explorers come together at space school to train astronauts to conduct science on the Moon.

Are hurricanes getting stronger? Although we’ll never see a Category 6 hurricane, data does show that more hurricanes are becoming more severe. Hurricane and climate expert Mara Cordero-Fuentes of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center tells us more about the connection between climate change and tropical cyclones.
