The GLOBE Program

#ICYMI: Watch the GLOBE Program's 31st Anniversary Broadcast here. Thanks to everyone who joined us live to celebrate this incredible milestone! 🌏🥳 youtu.be/IWmvBt18vYQ?si…

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek! In 2012, GLOBE released one of its most watched videos on the GLOBE YouTube channel, thanking teachers for all they do. Thirteen years later, that message still holds true! youtube.com/watch?v=ypFRxw… #ThankaTeacher

We had the chance to hear from Dr. Padi Boyd, program scientist at NASA Headquarters, who helped lead the first Artemis Lunar Surface Science team as deputy project scientist. In her message to the GLOBE community, she reflects on the observations made during the Artemis mission and observations made by citizen scientists here on Earth. Join the #ObserveLikeArtemis Challenge! globe.gov/news-events/gl… youtube.com/watch?v=TKlAi1…

The GLOBE Network on Mighty Networks is home to our Data Collection eTrainings and offers materials and chat from the 2025 Annual Meeting as well as Virtual Science Symposium resources and projects. Find the Mighty Networks app on the App Store or on Google Play, or join on the web at my-globe.mn.co. If you downloaded the GLOBE-specific app in the past, learn more about the recent app changes to continue to access these great resources. globe.gov/news-events/gl…

The NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Mission has gathered lots of data about the health of vegetation by detecting slight variations in leaf colors. Check out the video feature, "Leaf Year: Seeing Plants in Hyperspectral Color” and learn how PACE now allows scientists to see three different pigments in vegetation. Check it out at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14850/!

New views of Earth from (s)PACE 🛰️ Artemis II captured stunning views of our home planet, but did you know NASA has a whole fleet of satellites studying Earth ? This view comes from PACE, which studies Earth’s ocean and atmosphere.

From space, NISAR tracked parts of Mexico City – shown in blue – that sank more than half an inch (more than 2 cm) per month from Oct. 2025 to Jan. 2026. The data shows how reliably NISAR can track small changes on Earth’s surface. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4ugJVHA

#QuickGLOBETip for making a GLOBE Land Cover observation! How much space do you need to make a Land Cover observation? Tip #1: Find a space with about 50 meters of clearance in each direction. (That’s about a football field in each direction.) Explore this page for more tips and resources: observer.globe.gov/do-globe-obser…

The GLOBE U.S. Coordination Office has released the 2025 U.S. GLOBE Partner Yearbook, celebrating 30 years of GLOBE! This special edition highlights the incredible accomplishments of Partnerships across their entire history, rather than just the past year. It’s a powerful reflection of the impact, collaboration, and community that define GLOBE. Take a look here: globe.gov/news-events/gl…

Did you know that there were five major, peer-reviewed, GLOBE Observer related publications, in 2025, where scientists and researchers share their findings? You can read all about them at this special GLOBE Observer news story, “From the Eclipse Across America to Mosquitoes in Madagascar, 2025 Publications Reflect Global Science.” You can read all about them here: tinyurl.com/375ycuu4!

#ICYMI: In celebration of our 31st anniversary, we launched the #ObserveLikeArtemis Challenge! From now until the 22nd of May, join the challenge and capture GLOBE observations of what Earth means to you—clouds, trees, waterways, soil, and more. We’ll share how many observations were submitted for each Earth system sphere (atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere) in May! Learn more: globe.gov/news-events/gl…

Help GLOBE reach 2 million satellite matches by April 2027! Since 2017, the GLOBE community has made over 1.6 million satellite matches. Now we need your help to reach 2 million! Submit Cloud and Land Cover observations in the GLOBE Observer app, and if they align with satellite data, they’ll count toward the goal. You’ll even get an email from NASA with matching satellite imagery so you can compare your view on the ground with what’s seen from space. Learn more about satellite comparison emails: globe.gov/web/s-cool/hom… and get started today on GLOBE Observer: observer.globe.gov

Happening this week! Join us for our upcoming GLOBE Learning Session on the 29th of April at 10 am ET (14:00 UTC)! During this webinar, we will celebrate the impacts of global and regional GLOBE phenology campaigns and examine the strategies and approaches that contributed to their success.

From Apollo 8 to Artemis II, NASA’s view of our home has come a long way, and so has the science! Earth-observing satellites have provided decades of data to help us better understand our home planet – from ice and snow, to storms and much more.

Spell your name in Landsat images! Use this fun NASA tool to spell words using satellite imagery. Here’s one that was generated for the GLOBE Program. What does yours look like? Share it in the comments below! Try it out here: science.nasa.gov/specials/your-…

We’ve recently updated our GLOBE Timeline! Explore our interactive timeline to find milestones from GLOBE's 31-year history and highlights from recent years: globe.gov/about/learn/hi…

Many of the observations taken by the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission align to GLOBE protocols, including soil moisture, biometry, and phenology. Check out these feature videos showcasing how NISAR is advancing Earth science at @NASA and beyond. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14377/!

Be inspired all over again by the poetic words of the GLOBE community. First shared at the 2025 GLOBE Annual Meeting as a video, this collective poem now lives on as a beautifully designed poster, book, and greeting cards. Download your free copies—or purchase the print versions (in the U.S. only for the cost of printing and shipping): globe.gov/globe-communit… Experience the poem in video here: youtu.be/_Ph37JSD3WE?si…

#QuickGLOBETip for making a GLOBE Mosquitoes observation! How can you stay protected while identifying mosquito habitats? Tip #1: Wear long sleeves, pants, socks, and shoes. Apply an effective insect repellent to exposed skin. Explore this page for more tips and resources: observer.globe.gov/do-globe-obser…
