NASA releases ‘Earth as Art’ – PDF and iPAD app

You should really go and check this out – seriously, it’s gorgeous.

In 1960, the United States put its first Earth-observing environmental satellite into orbit around the planet – marking the start of a new era. As decades passed, satellites provided extremely valuable information and also a new perspective on Earth.

This book celebrates the aesthetic value of our planet, in the patterns, shapes, colors, and textures of the land, oceans, ice, and atmosphere. The book features 75 stunning images of Earth from the Terra, Landsat 5, Landsat 7, EO-1, and Aqua satellites.
