From the far reaches of space, NASA scientists aim to expand their knowledge of how our ocean, atmosphere, and ecosystems interact with one another through the launch of the PACE satellite. By identifying and examining harmful algal blooms around the world, PACE will inform communities ranging from from local fishermen to large corporations on what is occurring in their backyard and beyond. From sea to space, the PACE satellite will take Earth’s pulse in astounding ways for decades to come.

This data visualization shows 50 years of algal blooms collected across a spinning globe. Once all the data is accumulated, the globe then unwraps into a Robinson projection so the viewer can see the entire global dataset.
