How do you
define beauty? Which of your senses do you employ to determine whether an
object is beautiful or not? Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder. From
that statement, we can imply that our eyes are needed to tell if a thing is
beautiful or not.
Many of us claim that
the earth is beautiful but how many of us have in the true sense of the word 'seen' the earth? We may not all
have the opportunity to travel into space and look gaze upon the earth to
answer that question, but there is now opportunity to view the earth in
pictures, thanks to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
NASA has
released a 158-page free eBook called “Earth as Art” in which the agency presents
images of our planet taken by various NASA satellites since 1960. It covers
satellite pictures from around the world.
The book
features images from the different continents. Take note however that the
satellites can measure outside the visible range of light, so these images show
more than what is visible to the naked eye.
Take a look at planet earth and see for yourself
how beautiful she is. Download “Earth as Art” free eBook version (pdf)
