Hey, Folks! [TIP of the Week]  A NASA science team has created an accurate, high resolution map of the height of Earth's forests. The map will help scientists better understand the role forests play in climate change and how their heights influence wildlife habitats within them, while also helping them quantify the carbon stored in Earth's vegetation.

As a part of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight into space, the director Christopher Riley made a recreation of that outstanding moment . The film combines a new video footage taken from the International Space Station (ISS) with Gagarin's original mission audio and a new musical score by Philip Sheppard.
