                                   The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission held a photography contest this winter. The theme was "unique perspectives" on precipitation. One of the winners was Greg Colacino for this shot of clouds reflecting from a puddle in New Jersey in April 2012. Colacina titled the photograph "Hole in the Earth." Stay tuned for more news about GPM in the next few weeks. The satellite is scheduled to launch on February 27, 2014, from Tanegashima Space Center in Japan.
