The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) generated rain-induced landslide maps of Barangay Masara and Barangay Mainit in Maco, Davao de Oro. More than 55 houses were affected by the landslide, which occurred on the evening of 06 February 2024. 🗺

Building footprints were digitized from previous satellite imagery supplemented by Google Open Buildings and overlaid onto BlackSky satellite imagery dated 10 February 2024. The potential landslide area was digitized visually using the overlaid imagery.

These maps can be used for evacuation and relief operations, and for other non-commercial uses.

Two galaxies in the process of merging take on a chaotic shape during their fiery dance in this new image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy pair lies roughly 500 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Delphinus, close to the celestial equator. The bright cores of the two galaxies are connected by bright tendrils of star-forming regions, and the spiral arms of the lower galaxy have been twisted out of shape during the galaxy merger.⁣
⁣
These are considered Luminous Infrared Galaxies, which as the name suggests, are particularly bright at infrared wavelengths, with luminosities more than 100 billion times that of the Sun. An international team of astronomers proposed a study of complex galactic ecosystems, such as this pair, to put Webb through its paces soon as the telescope was commissioned. Their chosen targets have already been observed with ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, which will provide astronomers with insights into Webb’s ability to unravel the details of complex galactic environments.⁣
⁣
Webb captured this merging galaxy pair with a pair of its cutting-edge instruments: NIRCam – the Near-Infrared Camera – and MIRI, the Mid-Infrared Instrument.⁣
⁣
Image Description: Two galaxy cores shine bright white/blue in the center, as blue/purple swirls radiate out from their centers. Longer tendrils swirl around the outer edges of the galaxy in red, like a flame. The wild swirls of the merging galaxies are surrounded by a menagerie background galaxy dotted throughout. ⁣

Hello, Metro Manila!

Narito ang hitsura ng Metro Manila tuwing gabi, ayon sa isang International Space Station crew member na si NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough. Kaya n'yo bang i-identify kung nasaan sa litrato ang iba't ibang siyudad sa National Capital Region?

"This capital city is located on the island of Luzon and opens into Manila Bay. It combines historic and modern architecture to create the city’s landscape," kuwento ni Kimbrough tungkol sa larawan.

"Crazy to think that 6 hours after we closed the hatch on our friends, we saw them in that 🌠 streaking through the night sky. This is a sight I’ll remember all my life. 🤩 They are now safe and sound back on 🌎 and dealing with gravity again, so long, see you later Crew 1!" French astronaut Thomas Pesquet shared on Twitter after taking the photo while inside the International Space Station.

Astronauts Victor Glover, Michael Hopkins, Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi came back to Earth on Sunday early morning according to NASA.
