1. Niagara Falls
The image shows the Niagara River that connects Lake Erie to Lake
Ontario, snaking around Goat Island, in the lower left of the
full image. Most of the river's water plummets over the
Canadian/Horseshoe Falls, but some diverted water spills over
American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls downstream. Every second,
more than two million liters of water plunges over the Horsehoe
Falls segment of Niagara Falls creating one of the world's
largest waterfalls as well as eating away as much as two meters
of rock per year.
2. Tsunami strikes the coast of Sri Lanka
This is a natural color, 60-centimeter (2-foot) high-resolution
QuickBird satellite image featuring the southwestern coast of Sri
Lanka. Imagery was collected on December 26, 2004 at 10:20 a.m.
local time, slightly less than four hours after the 6:28 a.m.
(local Sri Lanka time) earthquake and shortly after the moment of
tsunami impact.
3. Ground Zero, New York City
This one-meter resolution satellite image of Manhattan, New York
was collected at 11:43 a.m. EDT on Sept. 12, 2001 by Space
Imaging's IKONOS satellite. The image shows an area of white and
gray-colored dust and smoke at the location where the 1,350-foot
towers of the World Trade Center once stood. Since all airplanes
were grounded over the U.S. after the attack, IKONOS ! was the
only commercial high-resolution camera that could take an
overhead image at the time.
4. Grand Canyon
Northern Arizona and the Grand Canyon are captured in this pair
of Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) images from
December 31, 2000. The above image is a true color view from the
nadir (vertical) camera. In addition to the Grand Canyon itself,
which is visible in the western (lower) half of the images,
other landmarks include Lake Powell, on the left, and Humphreys
Peak and Sunset Crater National Monument on the right. Meteor
Crater appears as a small dark depression with a brighter rim,
and is just visible along the upper right-hand edge.
5. Malosmadulu Atolls, Maldives
North and South Malosmadulu Atolls 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.. It has a total area
of 298 square kilometers and a population of about 330,000. The
capital and largest city is Male, with a population of about
80,000. 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 Atolls was acquired
on December 22, 2002, and is centered near 5.3 degrees North
latitude, 73.9 degrees West longitude
6. Ayers Rock (Uluru), Australia
This IKONOS satellite image of Ayers Rock was collected Jan. 17,
2004. Ayers Rock is located in Kata Tjuta National Park, 280
miles (450km) southwest of Alice Springs, Australia. It is the
world's largest monolith, an Aboriginal sacred site and
Australia's most famous natural landmark.
7. Noah's Ark Site
Is it or isn't it? Satellite images of Mt. Ararat, Turkey have
pointed to a possible sighting of Noah's Ark. Decide for
yourself! Compare this image taken by Digital Globe on September
10, 2003 with Shamrock -- The Trinity Corporation'
s image
(enlarge). Also, note their image is flipped.
8. The Nile River
This image of the northern portion of the Nile River was captured
by the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer's (MISR's) nadir
camera on January 30, 2001. Against the barren desert of
northeastern Africa, the fertile valley of the Nile River runs
northward through Egypt. The city of Cairo can be seen as a gray
smudge right where the river widens into its broad fan-shaped
delta. Other cities are dotted across the green landscape,
giving it a speckled appearance. Where the Nile empties into the
Mediterranean Sea (top) the waters are swirling with color,
likely a mixture of sediment, organic matter, and possibly marine
plant life. Farther west! , the bright blue color of the water
is likely less-organically rich sediment, perhaps sand.
9. Earth's City Lights
This image of Earth's city lights, captured on October 19, 2000,
was created with data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS). The brightest
areas of the Earth are the most urbanized, but not necessarily
the most populated. Cities tend to grow along coastlines and
transportation networks. The United States interstate highway
system appears as a lattice connecting the brighter dots of city
centers. In Russia, the Trans-Siberian railroad is a thin line
stretching from Moscow through the center of Asia to
Vladivostok. The Nile River, from the Aswan Dam to the
Mediterranean Sea, is another bright thread through an otherwise
dark region.
10. Mount St. Helens, Washington
On a Space Station expedition, astronauts observed and captured
this detailed image of the volcano's summit caldera. In the
center of the crater sits a lava dome that is 876 feet above the
crater floor and is about 3,500 feet in diameter. The dome began
to form after the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens.
After the eruption, there was not any dome building eruptions
for more than a decade. Afternoon lighting accents the flow
features in the volcanic and debris flows and the steep valleys
eroded into the loosely consolidated material near the summit.
