NASA unveiled its first images taken with new pollution mapping instruments.
The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution, or TEMPO, launched in April from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, and it collected its first measurements over North America on Aug. 2, scanning the continent every hour for six hours straight, according to NASA. The instruments work by measuring sunlight reflected and scattered off the Earth’s surface, clouds, and atmosphere.
Nitrogen dioxide is primarily produced through the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for purposes of transportation, power generation, and industrial activity, but it is also produced by wildfires.TEMPO is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian, and the NASA Langley Research Center.
