Cool satellite imagery

[Parrot of Doom]

NASA operates a copyright-free collection of Satellite imagery here:

http://www.visibleearth.nasa.gov/

There are some pretty cool things on there, the search tool is quite excellent. Enjoy:

[350GT]

Nice find... Cheers.

[EINSIGN]

Great images:

Can just spot the UK...

Was cool last year

That shot of Ireland must be extremely rare. Not a cloud over the entire country.

Already posted in the "Planes" and "News" forums - but what the hell -


Folllowing last night's scrub due to adverse weather, it's all "Go" again tonight for a launch around 11.00 pm. Watch it on www.spaceflightnow.com or on NASA TV.

I always find it amazing that shots like this seem to erase nearly all elements of civilisation from the planet.. even Birmingham from this altitude looks quite nice

[Jasandjules]

Ta for the link, I think I'll look a few up.

Does Birmingham count as "civilisation"?

I was being a bit facetious about Ireland and the clouds. There are a few along the east coast (right over Dublin, in fact) but it does appear to have been an exceptionally clear day over most of the country.

Ooh - I was wondering where this thread had gone.

Pictures of the earth - yep, fits in perfectly with "Boats, Trains and Planes".

[Parrot of Doom]

Talk about trigger-happy modding.

[hugo a gogo]

how do you zoom in to see the boats planes and trains?

[Eric Mc]

It's back

I think it had run its course anyway - but I just thought that the original transfer to "Boats, Trains etc" was a bit odd.

We could try and see if there is an equally clear day shot of the UK?
