First images From Copernicus Sentinel-5A

Handout photo dated October 13, 2025 shows Copernicus Sentinel-5A has delivered its first images after its launch on 13 August 2025, marking a significant milestone in the monitoring of air quality from space. The Sentinel-5 mission provides observations of key air pollutants, essential climate variables, and stratospheric ozone, which is the protective layer shielding life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This visualisation, created with Sentinel-5A data acquired on 13 October 2025, shows atmospheric concentrations of two trace gases: ozone (O₃) and formaldehyde (HCHO). The image on the left presents the formaldehyde vertical column density. Elevated concentrations along the northwestern coast of Angola are linked to emissions from wildfires, while increased levels over the Central African Republic stem from a combination of fire activity and biogenic emissions. The image on the right shows a global map of ozone. The hole in stratospheric ozone above Antarctica is clearly visible, with column den

Satellite Views of Hayli Gubbi Volcano Eruption

Handout photo dated on November 23, 2025 shows The Day Atmosphere Air Pollution Dust & Haze Volcanoes. On 23 November 2025, the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia, located approximately 800 kilometres north-east of Addis Ababa, erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years. As a result of the eruption, a large sulfur dioxide (SO₂) plume was emitted into the atmosphere. This image, derived from data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite on 24 November, shows the plume extending for approximately 3,700 kilometres from Ethiopia to the Arabian Sea. The atmospheric monitoring capabilities of Copernicus Sentinel-5P support the detection and tracking of volcanic gas emissions, which are important for aviation safety, air quality assessments, and climate monitoring.

Ontario Premier Ford Defends Anti-Tariff Reagan Ad That Derailed Trump Trade Talks - Toronto

Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks to the media during a press conference at Queen's Park in Toronto, Canada, on Monday, October 27, 2025. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is defending his TV advertisement that prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to scrap trade talks with Canada and threaten higher tariffs, calling it the “most successful ad in North American history.” In a late-night social-media tirade last week, Mr. Trump denounced the ad, falsely accused it of being a “fraud” and announced an immediate end to trade talks with Canada. Mr. Ford pulled the ad off the air, but only after it ran during the first game of the World Series. Mr. Trump also said he would impose an additional 10-per-cent tariff on Canadian goods. On Monday, he told reporters he would not be meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney again for “a long time.” Mr. Carney said on Monday that trade talks stopped after the ad appeared.
