Parts of California Are Sinking, and It Could Worsen the Effects of Sea-Level Rise, NASA Study Finds
Parts of California’s coastline are sinking, according to a NASA-led study published earlier this year in Science Advances. That’s bad news for sea-level rise, which poses a flood risk along the shore even without the land subsiding.

Lunar eclipse in California on March 13: times, where to watch, more
In Central California, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and Yosemite National Park are good places to see celestial light shows. Shasta, Siskiyou, and other North State counties offer excellent places to view the night sky. Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is also a prime night sky-watching location on the North State coast.
What is a total lunar eclipse? Here's how a rare 'blood moon' will appear next week
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the moon and sun, blocking the sun's rays from the moon.
NASA uses new technology to understand California wildfires
Developed at NASA JPL, the science instrument gives researchers a more detailed picture of high-temperature surfaces, such as land scorched by wildfire, than previous infrared instruments.
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Vandenberg, California Space Force Base

California Map Shows Where Land Is Sinking Fastest
A recent study by a NASA-led team has detailed the areas of California where land is sinking, or rising, the most. While NASA 's report said the changes seemed insignificant as they amounted to just fractions of an inch per year, it noted that they can affect local flood risks, wave exposure, and saltwater intrusion.
NASA's twin Voyager probes are shutting down some instruments to conserve power
The farthest spacecraft from Earth are shutting off instruments in interstellar space, but their mission in interstellar space isn’t over yet
