LIGHTER SIDE: EARTH AS ART

This section is devoted to resources that enrich, entertain, and inform along the electronic super highway. We are always looking for fun, interesting, or informative sites to visit. Share your favorites, newsletter@proscenia.net.

The USGS and NASA have teamed up to bring the public stunning images of the Earth taken by the Landsat-7 satellite and the Terra Satellite's Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER).
      Our Earth as Art allows visitors to browse the images by continent or alphabetically. The images can be used as supplementary materials during educational lectures about rock outcrops, deserts, deltas, clouds, glaciers, and many other earth science topics. The website allows users to download the images as posters and wallpaper.
