Part of French Republic tin terminate hold upwards seen at the top of the paradigm together with the Strait of Gibraltar is visible at bottom, amongst a real pocket-size share of Kingdom of Morocco visible close the lower correct corner.
Windswept Valleys inwards Northern Africa
Expedition twoscore Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency posted this photograph of windswept valleys inwards Northern Africa, taken from the International Space Station, to social media on July 6, 2014.
Exploring the World’s Protected Areas from Space
A novel volume released this calendar week highlights how the sentiment from infinite amongst Earth-orbiting sensors is existence used to protect some of the world’s most interesting, changing, together with threatened places. From space, Egmont National Park inwards New Zealand shows the benefits together with limitations of protected areas. In this Landsat 8 paradigm acquired on July 3, 2014, the park, amongst Mt. Taranaki at its center, was established inwards 1900. This isolated isle of protected wood (dark light-green areas) is surrounded yesteryear once-forested pasturelands (light together with dark-brown green).
Earth’s Vital Signs
ASA launched the world Observing System’s flagship satellite “Terra,” named for Earth, on Dec 18, 1999. Terra has been collecting information virtually Earth’s changing climate. On Feb 24, 2000, sensors on NASA’s Terra satellite began opening their shutters together with making their kickoff observations.
Volcanic Smog together with Sunglint inwards the Vanuatu Archipelago
On Jan. 7, 2014 NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over the Vanuatu Archipelago, capturing this true-color paradigm showing a wide plumage of “vog” (volcanic smog) together with ash.
An Astronaut’s View from Station
A sentiment of world equally seen from the Cupola on the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station. Visible inwards the top left foreground is a Russian Soyuz crew capsule. In the lower correct corner, a solar array panel tin terminate hold upwards seen. This photograph was taken from the ISS on June 12, 2013.
Satellite View of the Americas on world Day
