NASA satellite records unprecedented river waves in the United States
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — NASA's U.S.-French Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, which was launched in 2022 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, has spotted large-scale river waves for the first time, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California has announced. The river waves, which, unlike ocean waves, are temporary surges of water, stretched from 47 to 166 miles long as they traveled down rivers in Montana, Texas, and Georgia, the SWOT satellite recorded. James Webb Telescope captures new images of colliding Egg and Penguin galaxies: NASA The three large waves measured by the SWOT satellite from 2023 to 2024 were believed to be caused by extreme rainfall and a loosened ice jam, NASA reports, with the largest measuring over 30-feet-tall, creating potentially hazardous flood waves traveling down U.S. rivers. Ocean waves are primarily driven by wind and the gravitational pull of the moon and sun — tides – and move across the ocean until they crash to shore. According to NASA, river waves are temporary surges that can stretch tens to hundreds of miles, and are typically caused by rainfall or seasonal snowmelt. The waves can be beneficial, by shuttling nutrients and organisms down a river. But extreme river waves are usually triggered by a prolonged downpour or dam break and can cause floods. 'Out of this world' First-ever hip-hop song sent to Venus by NASA 'Ocean waves are well known from surfing and sailing, but rivers are the arteries of the planet. We want to understand their dynamics,' said Cedric David, a hydrologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and a coauthor of a new study published May 14 in Geophysical Research Letters. Since 2022, the SWOT satellite has surveyed the height of nearly all of Earth's surface waters, both fresh and salty, using its sensitive Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn), which maps the elevation and width of water bodies by bouncing microwaves off the surface and timing how long the signal takes to return. NASA streams first-ever high-definition video from deep space Lead author Hana Thurman of Virginia Tech and team used SWOT data to search for river waves for her doctoral research. Thurman and team measured SWOT data that recorded the first wave on the Yellowstone River in Montana in April 2023. The satellite recorded the wave rise abruptly to 9.1 feet, and flow toward the Missouri River in North Dakota. It then divided into a 6.8-mile-long peak followed by a more drawn‐out tail. Through optical Sentinel-2 imagery of the area, Thurman was able to determine that the wave likely resulted from an ice jam breaking apart upstream and releasing pent-up water. The other two river waves were found to be caused by rainfall runoff. On Jan. 25, 2024, on the Colorado River south of Austin, Texas, a river wave over 30-feet-tall and and 166 miles long traveled around 3.5 feet per second for over 250 miles before discharging into Matagorda Bay, and was associated with the largest flood of the year on that section of river, according to NASA. NASA launches revolutionary PACE satellite to study Earth's oceans, changing climate The third wave originated on the Ocmulgee River near Macon, Georgia, in March 2024. The SWOT satellite measured it at over 20-feet-tall and extending more than 100 miles, traveling about a foot per second for more than 124 miles. 'We're learning more about the shape and speed of flow waves, and how they change along long stretches of river,' Thurman said. 'That could help us answer questions like, how fast could a flood get here and is infrastructure at risk?' The study is helping engineers and water managers measure river waves in ways never before possible, who have long relied on stream gauges. Also, knowing where and why river waves develop can help scientists track changing flood patterns around the world. 'Satellite data is complementary because it can help fill in the gaps,' said study supervisor George Allen, a hydrologist and remote sensing expert at Virginia Tech. Orbiting Earth multiple times each day, SWOT is expected to observe some 55% of large-scale floods at some stage in their life cycle. 'If we see something in the data, we can say something,' David said of SWOT's potential to flag dangerous floods in the making. 'For a long time, we've stood on the banks of our rivers, but we've never seen them like we are now.' Death Valley's temporary lake was measured by a NASA satellite. Here's how big it got NASA also used SWOT to measure how big the lake was that briefly formed in Death Valley in April 2024. The SWOT satellite was jointly developed by NASA and the French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Études Spatiales), with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the UK Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, leads the U.S. component of the project. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far

In this article, we dive into the latest release date speculation, cast details, and plot insights for Season 1. The release date for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 has been a topic of much speculation. Initially, HBO and George R.R. Martin announced an early 2025 premiere, with some sources even suggesting a summer 2025 launch. However, recent reports indicate a shift to 2026, with a likely early winter premiere, possibly January or February.

Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms pushed back to 2026
One of the ideas behind running two different Game of Thrones prequels at once was to keep the franchise alive on HBO and Max during the long breaks between seasons. However, the next prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will now be skipping 2025 altogether. And that may mean both House of the Dragon season 3 and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms could come out in the same year. Via Variety, HBO confirmed the delay when it screened a trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms during its upfront presentation. The trailer ended with a vague 2026 release window, but HBO CEO Casey Bloys suggested that it would be released in winter 2026. That would have it premiere on HBO and Max in either January or February 2026. HBO hasn't announced when House of the Dragon will return. But if season 3 doesn't premiere in 2026, then pushing it back to 2027 would mean a nearly three-year gap between seasons. House of the Dragon season 3 is currently in production. Recommended Videos A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms takes place only a century before Game of Thrones, and it's based on George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. The story focuses on a poor knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), who befriends Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), a young boy who is secretly one of the Targaryen heirs to the Iron Throne. Several members of Egg's family will appear in the series, including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel), and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell). Much like the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Martin hasn't written all of Dunk and Egg's adventures yet, but he has touched upon their ultimate fates beyond their time together. Martin's next novel, The Winds of Winter, has yet to be completed and there is no word on when or if it will be finished.

"Game of Thrones" Spinoff "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" Shifts Premiere Window
Yara Sameh 'Game of Thrones' fans will have to wait a while longer to head back to Westeros, as the premiere of the new spinoff series 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' has now been slated for 2026. While no official premiere date was ever set, Warner Bros. Discovery execs had previously said that the series, the second HBO prequel to 'Game of Thrones' following 'House of the Dragon,' would air by the end of 2025. On Wednesday, the news of the show's push to 2026 was revealed via a first look at the 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' trailer that was shown during WBD's upfront presentation to advertisers at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The title card at the end of the footage said '2026,' but HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys narrowed that down further on stage by saying the show was coming in the 'winter' when he cued up the teaser, indicating an early 2026 release. HBO has not announced a premiere window for the third season of 'House of the Dragon,' which is currently in production and has been confirmed as the penultimate in a four-season run. 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is adapted from George R.R. Martin's novella 'The Hedge Knight,' and will follow the exploits of the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), roughly 100 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones' and 100 years after the events of 'House of the Dragon.' Dunk and Egg's journey will take them to a competition in which they encounter several members of the Targaryen dynasty — including Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), Prince Baelor Targaryen (Bertie Carvel) and Prince Maekar Targaryen (Sam Spruell) — along with another knight known as the Laughing Storm, Ser Lyonel Baratheon (Daniel Ings), and a puppeteer named Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford). The full logline for the series reads: 'A century before the events of 'Game of Thrones,' two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.' 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' is written and executive produced by Martin and Ira Parker ('The Sympathizer,' 'House of the Dragon'). Ryan Condal (the showrunner and co-creator of HBO's 'House of the Dragon'), Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris, and Sarah Bradshaw are executive producing. Sarah Adina Smith ('Lessons In Chemistry,' 'Hanna') will direct three of the six episodes for Season 1; executive producer Harris will direct the other three episodes. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
