It’s not Big Brother, but it does offer some really cool views. NASA has a couple really excellent resources on the web filled with some wonderful photography taken from above; way way above. The first place to visit is NASA Earth Observatory . The mission statement on their site says they, “provide a freely-accessible publication on the Internet where the public can obtain new satellite imagery and scientific information about our home planet. The focus is on Earth’s climate and environmental change.” Now this is what I call a good use of my tax dollars! They also have an Image of the Day as part of their Newsroom. This weekend, they had a great hi-rez photo of where I want to take my camera this summer; Glacier National Park.
If you want to wander through the archives, check out the other area, NASA Visible Earth.
I’ve added links to both of these at the top of my Earth Sciences page.
