Cluj-Napoca in Romania

Handout photo dated on October 17, 2025 shows Cluj-Napoca in Romania. On 17 October 2025, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites acquired this image of Cluj-Napoca, a major urban centre in north-western Romania. Surrounded by rolling hills and agricultural land, the city is noted for its dynamic growth and strategic role in regional development. Cluj-Napoca also received the label of the EU Mission for Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities in 2023. Cluj-Napoca is currently one of ten pilot cities selected for the Horizon Europe CLMS-Cities project, which combines satellite-based products from the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) with additional environmental and urban data to improve modelling of urban-scale CO₂ emissions. These integrated datasets help local authorities in tracking changes and designing more effective climate strategies, thereby supporting the development of data-driven urban policies aligned with the European Green Deal.

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.

Copernicus Sentinel-1D Launches Into Orbit - French Guiana

Handout photo dated on November 4, 2025 shows Copernicus Sentinel-1D was successfully launched on 4 November 2025 at 22:02 CET (21:02 UTC) aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The satellite was released into orbit 34 minutes after launch, and the first signal was received at 23:22 CET by the Troll ground station in Antarctica. At the heart of Copernicus Sentinel-1 is the C-SAR (C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) instrument, operating at 5.405 GHz. It provides high-resolution imaging of the Earth's surface regardless of weather conditions, day or night. The radar supports four operational modes: Strip Map (5 × 5 m resolution, 80 km swath), Interferometric Wide Swath (5 × 20 m resolution, 250 km swath), Extra Wide Swath (20 × 40 m resolution, 400 km swath), and Wave mode for ocean monitoring. A key feature of Sentinel-1D, also present on Sentinel-1C, is the integration of the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which enables detection and tracking of ship signals in c

Glacial forces at the edge of Antarctica

Handout photo show Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 17 March 2025, shows the flow of the David Glacier as it feeds into the Drygalski Ice Tongue in East Antarctica. Stretching 90 km into the Ross Sea, the ice tongue is one of the largest floating ice extensions in Antarctica. The linear structure of the ice tongue reveals its dynamic forward movement over time, shaped by internal flow and ocean interaction. Ice tongues like this change in size and shape over time, reshaped by calving events, waves and storms. Copernicus delivers key data for tracking glacier dynamics and calving events in remote areas. Regular monitoring supports climate research, helping scientists assess how Antarctic ice loss contributes to global sea-level rise. Drygalski Ice Tongue, Antartica on March 17, 2025.

The elephant herd that gained widespread recognition for its epic journey through southwest China's Yunnan Province has welcomed four new babies over the past three years, indicating a healthy and thriving wild Asian elephant population, said local authorities on Monday. Currently, the wild elephant family has split into two groups. One group of 13 elephants still roams the Mengyang area, while the other group of seven elephants co-exists with 28 wild elephants from another family in Dadugang Township in the city of Jinghong.
