The NASA Earth Observatory is a premier online platform launched by NASA in 1999 to share satellite imagery, maps, and data-driven visualizations that showcase our planet’s dynamic systems. Designed to inform the public and support educators, scientists, and policymakers, the site covers a wide range of Earth science topics including climate change, natural disasters, land use, and atmospheric conditions. With regularly updated imagery from NASA’s fleet of Earth-observing satellites, the Earth Observatory offers compelling insights into both long-term environmental trends and real-time global events.
