You already know about NASA’s gift for space exploration. But did you know that at any given time, NASA has dozens of satellites orbiting the Earth that do nothing but analyze our own planet? It’s true. It is from these satellites that we get a lot of information on things we don’t normally associate with NASA — things like climate change, for instance.
At NASA’s website, their new Eyes on the Earth 3D project lets you explore the planet in amazing and interactive ways. You can follow the path of a satellite, check out real-time images of the Earth, learn about the equipment that is used to get information about our oceans and our atmosphere… and much, much more.
