Satellite Imagery

[BornFromTheVoid]

Thought I'd set up a non-weather satellite imagery thread. I'm doing a masters in remote sensing, so I'm sure I'll come across some interesting pics during the year!

To start off with, here's an image of Dubai, taken by the French Pleiades satellite, which is capable of taking panchromatic (black and white) images down to a resoltion of 70cm.

A short video clip by the ESA on this image, which does some interesting videos on different satellite images weekly.

Lovely! We are nothing but a mere spec of dust.

I have a bad habit of downloading MODIS images and using them as additional screensaver pics.

Hi Coast!

 

The big 'Splash' one, you can see ripples for quite a distance around the 'splash'?

 

Would the central splash not have subsided by the time the outer rings of ripples had travelled that far from the impact???

Anyone want to guess what country is peeking through the clouds here?

In case anyone was curious, the country was Denmark.
