Free Access to NASA’s Amazing Earth Photos
As mentioned in my article about NASA’s Earth Observing System, NASA doesn’t only study space. NASA spends a great deal of time and money studying Earth - from outer space.
Because of its Earth Observing System (EOS), NASA is able to provide us with detailed imagery of earth, taken from space craft and satellites in outer space.
But not only do we get photos of Earth, we also get to see things like:
- tropical cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, and other weather systems
- city lights
- fires
- the effects of deforestation
- glacier recession - an (arguable) example of the effects of global warming
NASA makes these images available at its Visible Earth website, where you can download photos for print and web. NASA makes these images freely available to anyone, as long as they adhere to the terms of use.
