Beautiful Images Of Earth: Celebrating 40 Years of Landsat

Since 1972, NASA’s Landsat program has been constantly monitoring Earth from above. Hundreds of images are beamed back from the Landsat satellite from 450 miles above Earth, providing visual data for everything from climate studies to Google Earth.

Here’s a tribute video from NASA, showing how our regular observations of the planet can track geographical changes, natural disasters, and man’s impact on the planet. Viewed from far or near, we have a beautiful home, and one that we still struggle to fully understand.

Bonus: Check out Landsat’s Earth As Art collection! You won’t be sorry, and it should make for some pretty good dashboard fodder, Tumblr friends.
