View the Earth<br /> through the eyes of the Landsat-7 satellite
Welcome to the Earth as Art Gallery! Here you can view our
planet through the beautiful images taken by the Landsat-7 satellite
- and most recently, the Terra Satellite’s Advanced Spaceborne Thermal
Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER).
This gallery of images uses the visceral avenue
of art to convey the thrilling perspective of the Earth that
satellites provide to the viewer.
