Shown below is a collection of famous NASA images that are often called "satellite photos of Earth at night." They aren't really "photos". Instead, they are images that were compiled using data from a sensor aboard NASA’s Suomi satellite. Each white dot on the maps represents the light...
Satellite images of Earth at night make for fascinating, beautiful pictures. But they also confront us with a growing form of pollution. Why do we waste so much energy to light outer space when we only need light on the ground? High-resolution satellite data can now deliver detailed insights...
The highest resolution images that will be offered of the US are at a resolution of one metre—each pixel represents a square metre—while the Soviet data that covers cities in the rest of the world is at 1.6-metre resolution. All of the images will initially be in black...

In the Turgai region of northern Kazakhstan, archeologists have documented five massive geometric shapes, hundreds of meters across, constructed from mounds of earth, trenches, and rampart structures. Discovered on Google Earth by Dmitriy Dey in 2007, the function of these figures remains a ...
TheSentinel Playgroundlives up to its name. Because the truth is that satellite maps aren’t just for pretty pictures. For example, the 12 indices in the Sentinel Playground characterize Earth’s features differently. It’s like those littleRussian Dolls: You see layers upon layers. Each one ...
These weather satellite images can be complemented with theWebcams. These pictures are updated every 2 minutes (only the pictures, not the whole page). The Sunclock shows in realtime, where on earth it is light and where it is dark Metbee WX Station...
Pictures from the Elektro-L No.1 Russian weather satellite of Earth are the highest-detail images yet, and come in at 121 megapixels. The color scheme comes from the image capture method, which combines data from three visible and one infrared wavelength
anomalies in pictures, and cost, which are just some of the reasons why. The Moon has a large repository of materials not easily found on Earth, such as Helium-3, which is a great fuel. There is no oil or coal on the Moon because to find those fossil fuels, there would have needed...
Man has invented four kinds of satellites. The first kind of satellite 1 the geography of the earth.They are used to make maps. They also help countries to see where they 2 find oil or gold.The second kind of satellite is used to guide 3 and planes. A ship or a plane can send a...
