NASA Explores Earth’s Connections
For Earth Day 2021, we explore the connections between Earth systems and NASA's ability to observe them in a changing world, including dust transport, vegetation, water quality, conservation and human health, the cryosphere and the links between disasters are highlighted.

Moon Phases 2021 – Southern Hemisphere – 4K
This 4K visualization shows the Moon's phase and libration at hourly intervals throughout 2021, as viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Each frame represents one hour. In addition, this visualization shows the Moon's orbit position, sub-Earth and subsolar points, and distance from the Earth at true scale. Craters near the terminator are labeled, as are Apollo landing sites, maria, and other albedo features in sunlight. Video credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Data visualization by Ernie Wright (USRA) Producer & Editor - David Ladd (USRA) Music Provided by Universal Production Music: "Fly To The Moon" - Thomas Edward Sheppard This video is public domain and along with other supporting visualizations can be downloaded from the Scientific Visualization Studio.

NASA Psyche Mission: Charting a Metallic World
In this artist rendering, we explore a metallic world called Psyche, an asteroid that offers a unique window into the planet's building blocks. NASA's Psyche mission will launch in 2023 and arrive in 2026 at asteroid Psyche, which orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. The spacecraft, also known as Cyca, will spend 21 months orbiting the asteroid, mapping it and studying its properties. The mission is led by Arizona State University Principal Investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is responsible for overall mission management, systems engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies is delivering a high-power solar-electric propulsion spacecraft chassis.

OSIRIS-REx Slings Orbital Web Around Asteroid to Capture Sample | 4K
101955 Bennu is one of Earth’s closest planetary neighbors – an asteroid roughly the height of a skyscraper, and since late 2018, the place that NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has called home. When OSIRIS-REx arrived on Dec. 3, 2018, it began wrapping Bennu in a complex web of observations. OSIRIS-REx departs Bennu on May 10, 2021, on a return voyage to Earth, bringing with it over 60 grams of sample collected from the asteroid. This narrated video presents the mission’s complete trajectory during its time at Bennu.
