NASA’ Earth Observatory


If you want to see what is happening on our planet, a good place to check out is NASA’s Earth Observatory website . The site posts an “Image of the Day” and the image above was taken on April 29th, the 10th anniversary of the site’s publication.

The photos are in the public domain and can be downloaded in a variety of sizes and formats. This photo shows two cyclones in the cold waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, just off the southern tip of Africa, where winter is approaching. The image was posted yesterday. A new feature on the Earth Observatory website is “World of Change” which will document how our world—forests, oceans, human landscapes, even the Sun—has changed during the previous decade.
