NASA's Earth Observatory,update

 

We are back! After the lapse in appropriations at the beginning of October, and therefore a lapse in our ability to pay for our newsletter platform, the Earth Observatory team is back to publishing our natural event stories and we are happy to be back in your inbox. We have a slate of new stories to share with you (I will include them all below so you can catch up) and more planned. But in other news... The Earth Observatory is Moving! For more than 26 years, Earth Observatory has been located at earthobservatory.nasa.gov. Now, as part of our next chapter, we are moving to a new home at science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory. We have been working hard to migrate our content, and as of December 2, all new Image of the Day stories are being published exclusively at our new location. We still have a few remaining items to transfer, but we expect to complete the move during the week of December 8, after which earthobservatory.nasa.gov will be turned off. All URLs will redirect at that time, so most of your existing bookmarks will point you to the correct pages. However, to ensure quick and seamless access, you can start now by updating your favorite bookmarks: Earth Observatory Home Image of the Day Natural Events See you at science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory!
