The Earth and the Moon seen from space as it could appear from a satellite place at 35,000 km altitude. Composite image based on GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) data for clouds and Terra satellite for surface - This true-color image shows North and South America as they would appear from space 35,000 km (22,000 miles) above the Earth. The image is a combination of data from two satellites. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard Nasa's Terra satellite collected the land surface data over 16 days, while Noaa's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) produced a snapshot of the Earth's clouds: Earth seen by satellite - Earth seen by satellite

Satellite photo of Malosmadulu atolls (Maldives) - Malosmadulu atolls (Maldives) seen from space - Satellite photo of Malosmadulu atolls in Maldives obtained by Terra satellite on 22 December 2002. North and South Malosmadulu Atoll are in the Maldives, an island republic in the northern Indian Ocean, southwest of India. The Maldives are made up of a chain of 1,192 small coral islands, which are grouped into clusters of atolls. Arguably the lowest - lying country in the world, the average elevation is just 1 meter above sea level. The natural - color ASTER image of the Malosmadulu Atoll was acquired on December 22, 2002, and is centered near 5.3 degrees North latitude, 73.9 degrees West longitude

Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef in Australia from satellite - The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world, extending over 2000 km off Queensland, Australia. Satellite image obtained by Terra satellite on 8 August 2004. The Great Barrier Reef arches over 2000 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia. The white calcium carbonate that coats the coral reflects light, making the water above the reef appear bright blue from space. This phenomenon allows the reef to be visible in satellite images, such as this one, acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Nasa's Terra satellite on August 8, 2004

November 2007 Temperature Map - Land surface temperatures in november 2007 - Map of average temperatures observed on Earth's surface by the Terra satellite between November 1 and December 1, 2007. The coldest regions appear in blue and white, the warmest in yellow and red. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying on NASA's Terra satellite between November 1 and December 1, 2007. It shows how the indirectness of sunlight at high latitudes affects temperature. The coldest areas, colored blue and white, are in the north, while the warmest areas, yellow and red, are near the Equator. These are also the planet's most snow - covered areas

Cyclones on the South Atlantic - Cyclonic clouds - Two mutually feeding cyclones seen over the cold waters of the South Atlantic Ocean by the Terra satellite on 29 April 2009. North is left. It took the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Nasa's Terra satellite a full five minutes to fly over this expansive cloud pattern on April 29, 2009. The sprawling S”” - shaped swirl is actually two cyclones that seem to be feeding on each other. Polar cyclones often form as a result of low - pressure systems over the ocean, and usually bring winds and heavy snow. MODIS acquired this photo - like image over the cold waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, where winter is approaching. The image has been rotated, so that north is toward the left. The spot of green in the upper left corner of the image is coastal water off the southern tip of Africa.

It took the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Nasa's Terra satellite a full five minutes to fly over this expansive cloud pattern on April 29, 2009. The sprawling S”” - shaped swirl is actually two cyclones that seem to be feeding on each other. Polar cyclones often form as a result of low - pressure systems over the ocean, and usually bring winds and heavy snow. MODIS acquired this photo - like image over the cold waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, where winter is approaching. The image has been rotated, so that north is toward the left. The spot of green in the upper left corner of the image is coastal water off the southern tip of Africa.

Retreat of the Helheim Glacier, Greenland - Retreat of the Helheim Glacier, Greenland - These three photos show the Helheim Glacier in Greenland in June 2005 (top), July 2003 (middle) and May 2001 (bottom). The glacier occupies the left part of the images, the icebergs on the fjord on the right. Between 2001 and 2005, the glacier front retreated 7.5 km. Images obtained from the Terra satellite. Retreat of the Helheim Glacier, Greenland Along the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet, outlet glaciers flow as icy rivers through narrow fjords and out to sea. As long as the thickness of the glacier and the depth of the water allow the ice to remain grounded, it stays intact. Where the ice becomes too thin or the water too deep, the edge floats and rapidly crumbles into icebergs. Satellite observations of eastern Greenland's Helheim Glacier show that the position of the iceberg's calving front, or margin, has undergone rapid and dramatic change since 2001, and the glacier's flow to the sea has

Satellite photo of the Rub al Khali desert - Rub 'al Khali desert seen from space - Rub al-Khali (the Empty Quarter), is one of the largest deserts and the largest uninterrupted expanse of sand in the world. It covers nearly 600,000 square kilometres in the Arabian Peninsula, located mostly in Saudi Arabia and in the territories of Yemen, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The image obtained by the Terra satellite on 2 December 2005 covers an area of 54.8 km by 61.9 km and shows the fields of sand dunes separated by flat and saline stretches, sebkha (or sabkha). The Arabian Peninsula's Empty Quarter, known as Rub 'al Khali, is the world's largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert. The Empty Quarter covers 583,000 square kilometers (225,000 square miles), and stretches over parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.

Impact Crater Wolf Creek, Australia - Area around Wolf Creek impact crater, Australia - Part of the Great Sable Desert with Wolf Creek impact crater (or Wolfe Creek, top left) in Australia, seen by Terra satellite on September 22, 2006. It would have been formed about 300,000 years ago and its diameter is 880 metres. Wolfe Creek Crater lies on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert approximately 90 km south of Halls Creek in Western Australia. Almost circular, Wolfe Creek Crater (also known as Wolf Creek Crater, top middle left) is considered the second largest crater in the world from which meteorite fragments have been collected. Because of its excellent preservation, the crater clearly shows the classic features that result from a large meteorite striking the Earth.

Deforestation in Brazil - 2009 - Deforestation in Brazil - 2009 - View of deforestation in Rondonia, one of the Brazilian states where deforestation is the most intensive. In 1978, deforestation covered 4200 square km of the state, in 1988 about 30,000 square km and in 2003 about 67,000 square km. Image obtained by Terra satellite on 21 August 2009. The Amazon forest appears in green, the areas deforested in light colours. The state of Rondonia in western Brazil is one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. In the past three decades, clearing and degradation of the state's original 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres, an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas) has been rapid: 4,200 square kilometers cleared by 1978; 30,000 by 1988; and 53,300 by 1998. By 2003, an estimated 67,764 square kilometers of rainforest - - an area larger than the state of West Virginia - - had been cleared.
