NASA’s SWOT satellite has done something no satellite has ever done before — it captured a giant Pacific tsunami in stunning high resolution from space. After a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, SWOT recorded intricate wave patterns that challenge everything scientists thought they knew about how tsunamis travel. This breakthrough could change tsunami forecasting forever and help save lives.
