New skill unlocked! 🔓 NASA’s PACE satellite, known for measuring tiny ocean organisms and particles in the atmosphere, has a new ability: it can track nitrogen dioxide, a harmful air pollutant. go.nasa.gov/3ZZ9U9B

Other satellites can also measure nitrogen dioxide that is released from burning fossil fuels and wood. But PACE can do so at a higher resolution, allowing scientists to pinpoint emission sources as small as an individual factory or specific section of highways.

@NASAEarth This is really cool. Nice to learn more

@NASAEarth CosmoCat from Ukraine watching Earth in high resolution 🐾🌍✨ Every emission now has a visible source.

@NASAEarth Capturing the unseen. 📸 These comparison maps show just how far we’ve come in tracking air pollutants. Seeing the signature of nitrogen dioxide so clearly across the timeline is both sobering and inspiring. A vital tool for our planet! 🌫️➡️📉

@NASAEarth Air is cleaner than ever

@NASAEarth good!

@NASAEarth Can it clean the air pollution once de dictated ?
