Un avión de la aerolínea estadounidense Delta Air Lines se ha salido de pista este jueves al aterrizar en el aeropuerto de LaGuardia (uno de los tres aeropuertos del área metropolitana de Nueva York) a causa de una nevada. El terraplén que rodea el aeropuerto ha frenado al aparato.

Imagen tomada el 2 de marzo, facilitada por Elecnor Deimos, de la crecida del Ebro cerca de Burgo de Ebro (Zaragoza) captada por su satélite Deimos. El agua del río Ebro empieza a regresar a su cauce después de anegar en los pasados días 28.000 hectáreas en Aragón, donde se ha desmovilizado a la Unidad Militar de Emergencias (UME) y donde prosiguen las labores de achique de agua.

Explanation: The faint and somehow menacing cometary globule CG4 reaches through the center of this deep southern skyscape. About 1,300 light-years from Earth toward the constellation Puppis, its head is about 1.5 light-years in diameter and its tail about 8 light-years long. That's far larger than the Solar System's comets that it seems to resemble. In fact, the dusty cloud contains enough material to form several Sun-like stars and likely has ongoing star formation within. How its distinctive form came about is still debated, but its long tail trails away from the Vela Supernova remnant near the center of the Gum Nebula, while its head could represent the rupture of an originally more spherical cloud. Still, the edge-on spiral galaxy also near picture center is not actually being threatened by CG4. The galaxy lies in the distant background more than 100 million light-years away.

Explanation: The sprawling Caloris basin on Mercury is one of the solar system's largest impact basins, created during the early history of the solar system by the impact of a large asteroid-sized body. The multi-featured, fracturedbasin spans about 1,500 kilometers in this enhanced color mosaic based on image data from the Mercury-orbiting MESSENGER spacecraft. Mercury's youngest large impact basin, Caloris was subsequently filled in by lavas that appear orange in the mosaic. Craters made after the flooding have excavated material from beneath the surface lavas. Seen as contrasting blue hues, they likely offer a glimpse of the original basin floor material. Analysis of these craters suggests the thickness of the covering volcanic lava to be 2.5-3.5 kilometers. Orange splotches around the basin's perimeter are thought to be volcanic vents.
