NASA has been photographing the exact same locations on earth every 16 days since 1972.

same mountains. same forests. same ice fields.

and the difference between then and now?

heartbreaking.

🧊 the ice

glacier national park had 150 glaciers in 1850. it has 26 today.

🌳 the forests

earth loses 10 million hectares of forest every single year. the amazon is 5 percentage points away from permanent, irreversible collapse.

🌊 the oceans

the aral sea lost 90% of its water. there are fishing boats rusting in desert where ocean used to be. actual boats. actual desert.

🏙️ the cities

cities cover just 3% of earth's land. but consume 75% of all global energy. and from space — you can watch them growing every year.

but here's what nobody talks about —

the same satellites also record recovery. reforestation taking hold. reefs healing. forests returning.

the cameras catch everything. damage and hope.

the data is in. the images are undeniable. the only question left is what we do next.

Our planet is full of wonders, but it's also surrounded by myths, misconceptions, and outdated beliefs. From the depths of the oceans to the mysteries of space, science continues to reveal fascinating truths about Earth and its place in the universe.

Did you know?

🌊 The ocean hides the world's longest mountain range beneath its surface.

🪐 Saturn's moon Enceladus shoots icy geysers into space.

🌎 Earth is not running out of resources overnight—but unsustainable consumption is putting enormous pressure on natural systems.

🌳 Forests are more than collections of trees; they are complex ecosystems that help regulate climate, support wildlife, and sustain life.

🔬 Scientific discoveries continue to reshape what we know about our planet every year.

Understanding the difference between myths and facts helps us make better decisions for the future of our environment and our communities.

The more we learn about Earth, the more we realize how extraordinary—and fragile—it truly is.

Did you know that 68% of Earth's wildlife populations have disappeared since 1970?

That's not a distant event from history. It happened within a single human lifetime.

Biodiversity is more than endangered animals and tropical rainforests. It includes every living organism—from pollinating bees and soil microbes to forests, wetlands, and oceans that support life on Earth.

🌿 Healthy ecosystems provide: ✔ Clean air ✔ Fresh water ✔ Food security ✔ Climate regulation ✔ Natural medicines

Yet today, over 1 million species face the risk of extinction, while forests, wetlands, and marine ecosystems continue to decline at alarming rates.

The good news? There is still hope.

Around the world, conservation projects, reforestation initiatives, and ecosystem restoration efforts are proving that nature can recover when given the chance.

Every tree planted, every habitat protected, and every sustainable choice made today helps build a healthier future for generations to come.

The future of biodiversity depends on the actions we take now.

🌱 Protect Nature. Restore Ecosystems. Preserve Life.

Plymouth weather is shaped by the sea, the Atlantic climate, and constantly changing coastal conditions.

Located on the south coast of England, Plymouth experiences: Mild winters Cool summers Frequent rainfall Coastal winds throughout the year

Locals often describe it as “four seasons in one day” because sunshine, clouds, and rain can appear within hours.

From scenic spring landscapes to dramatic winter storms along the coastline, Plymouth’s climate plays a major role in daily life, tourism, and the city’s unique atmosphere.

Earth is breathing right now.

Forests are recycling water. Oceans are producing oxygen. Soil is alive with billions of microorganisms.

And most of it happens silently.

Tiny phytoplankton in the ocean create nearly half of the oxygen we breathe. Forests generate rainfall through “flying rivers.” Healthy soil stores carbon and supports life from the ground up.

The planet isn’t just where we live. It’s a living system keeping us alive every second.

At The Planet Earth Foundation, we believe understanding Earth is the first step toward protecting it.

What if nature disappeared for just one day?

No clean air. No flowing water. No food systems working as they should.

The world wouldn’t collapse instantly—but the balance would break.

Nature isn’t just around us. It supports everything we need to survive.

Organizations like the Planet Earth Foundation are working to raise awareness and protect this balance.

A Super El Niño is an extreme warming of the Pacific Ocean that disrupts weather worldwide. It can trigger floods, droughts, heatwaves, and impact food systems and ecosystems.

From coral bleaching to weak monsoons, its effects are global and powerful. As oceans warm, these events may become more intense.

"Climate change won’t look like a disaster movie. It will look normal—until it’s not."

Climate change won’t arrive with explosions or dramatic scenes. It will look ordinary—hotter days, unpredictable rain, quieter losses.

No final warning. No clear beginning. Just slow changes becoming normal.

And that’s what makes it dangerous.

The future isn’t decided in one moment, but in small daily choices. Awareness still matters. Action still matters.

❄️ Winter Precipitation Explained: A Simple Guide We All Need

Winter weather isn’t just “snow.” Understanding what actually falls from the sky can help us stay safe, prepared, and climate-aware.

Here’s a clear guide to the four main types of winter precipitation ⬇️

🌨️ Snow

Snow forms when temperatures stay below freezing from clouds to ground. It insulates soil, supports ecosystems, and replenishes water supplies—but heavy snowfall can disrupt travel and infrastructure.

Guideline: ✔️ Prepare for reduced visibility ✔️ Protect vulnerable plants and wildlife ✔️ Plan travel carefully during heavy snow

🧊 Sleet

Sleet happens when snow partially melts, then refreezes before reaching the ground. It looks harmless but makes roads extremely slippery.

Guideline: ✔️ Walk and drive with caution ✔️ Expect poor road traction ✔️ Stay updated with weather alerts

🌧️ Freezing Rain

The most dangerous winter precipitation. Rain freezes instantly on contact with cold surfaces, creating invisible ice.

Guideline: ⚠️ Avoid unnecessary travel ⚠️ Watch for power outages ⚠️ Ice can form even with light rain

❄️ Ice Storms

Ice storms occur when freezing rain lasts for hours, coating trees, roads, and power lines.

Guideline: ⚠️ Stay indoors when possible ⚠️ Prepare emergency supplies ⚠️ Check on vulnerable communities

🌡️ Why This Matters More Than Ever

Climate change is altering winter weather patterns: • More winter rain, less snow • Increased freezing rain events • Shorter but more intense winter storms

Understanding these changes helps communities adapt and stay resilient.

🌍 A Reminder

Winter precipitation affects: • Road safety • Public health • Water resources • Ecosystems • Infrastructure

Knowledge is not just awareness—it’s protection.

Nature gives warnings. Understanding them is our responsibility.
