NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

This collection contains thousands images of impact craters from all continents except Antarctica. The collection shows that fewer craters have been discovered in South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, perhaps because these continents have been less explored in geological terms. Craters in Europe are excluded because they are difficult to see (due to intense glacial erosion in the recent past

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

This collection contains several astronaut images taken from space of glaciers from all continents. The collection contains examples from higher latitudes (major glacier tongues, especially in the southern Andes collection), and lower subtropical and tropical latitudes (mountain-top glacier—even on the equator).

In Crew Earth Observations (CEO), crew members on the International Space Station (ISS) photograph the Earth from their unique point of view in low Earth orbit. Photographs record how the planet is changing over time, from human-caused changes like urban growth and reservoir construction, to natural dynamic events such as hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions. A major emphasis of CEO is to mon

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

Explore the capital cities around the world and the U.S. capital city collection, as captured from the International Space Station. This collection contains thousands of images of capital cities worldwide, with a separate option of viewing United States state capitals. Extreme variation in the sizes of capital cities has resulted in different lenses being needed to capture cities and some of the s

NASA Earthdata CMR1961 · collection

This collection contains many thousands images of volcanoes from all continents except Antarctica. This collection includes examples of volcanoes taken from different viewing angles, both vertical, where volcanoes look almost circular, to oblique, where the typical cone-like form of volcanoes shows up better. Because volcanoes are also mountains (chains of volcanoes make entire mountain ranges), c

The Solar Optical Universal Polarimeter (SOUP) experiment was flown in July and August, 1985, on board the STS-51F/Spacelab II shuttle mission. Images of solar features observed in white light were recorded on film. The targets were solar pores, sunspots, upwellings, active region AR 4682, and the structures along the solar limb. When the film was returned to the investigator team and developed, i
