Earth to Sky Brings NASA Earth Science to the National Association for Interpretation

NASA Earth Science for Interpreters


Earth to Sky Partnership (ETS) at the
National Association for Interpretation Annual Conference
November 10 – 13, 2020 | Virtual

1300 informal educators, interpreters, and communicators from federal, state and local agencies, and NGOs attended the conference.

Earth to Sky Sessions

Climate Science in the Era of COVID-19 – Geneviève de Messières (ETS Lead), and Lesley Ott (GSFC GMAO)

154 participants learned about changes in air pollution, prescribed fire, and the nuances of carbon dioxide signals. Lively participant discussion focused on weaving these science results into place-based education.

You Too Can Create a Virtual Field Trip – Anita Davis (ETS co-Lead) and Russanne Low (IGES)

270 participants interacted in this session featuring ETS community members demonstrating their use of the Flyover Country app to develop free virtual tours of their sites.

Earth to Sky Virtual Booth

167 attendees discovered many NASA resources selected for informal educators, refreshed with new content daily. 8 hours of live sessions were coordinated and hosted by ETS, featuring presentations and demos by GSFC outreach specialists Kristen Weaver, Heather Mortimer, Brian Campbell, Dorian Janney, and Valerie Casasanto; cryospheric scientist Chris Shuman; and Rusty Low (IGES). Several participants returned multiple times, citing appreciation for the wealth of NASA resources:

Conference sessions and booth resources are available to conference registrants through December.

Thereafter, selected content from ETS presentations and booth will be posted to the ETS website https://earthtosky.org.

NASA’s CloudSat Ends Mission Peering Into the Heart of Clouds

Over the course of nearly two decades, its powerful radar provided never-before-seen details of clouds and helped advance global weather and climate predictions. CloudSat, a NASA mission that peered into hurricanes, tallied global snowfall rates, and achieved other weather and climate firsts, has ended its operations. Originally proposed as a 22-month mission, the spacecraft was […]

NASA’s Near Space Network Enables PACE Climate Mission to ‘Phone Home’

The PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission has delivered its first operational data back to researchers, a feat made possible in part by innovative, data-storing technology from NASA’s Near Space Network, which introduced two key enhancements for PACE and other upcoming science missions. As a satellite orbits in space, its systems generate critical data […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
