A new satellite named TEMPO is helping scientists track air pollution in real time. It captures hourly images of pollutants in the atmosphere over North America. This information is valuable for public health researchers and government officials who want to understand and improve air quality. By monitoring these pollutants, we can learn more about how they affect our health and the environment.
