Artistic masterpieces named after the Earth

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has assembled and published stunning images of Earth captured by Landsat satellites. The photos in this "Earth As Art" collection are chosen for their artistic quality rather than for scientific reasons.

According to the Telegraph , the program to observe Earth by Landsat satellite is under the general administration of both USGS and the US Aerospace Agency (NASA). Since 1972, Landsat satellites have begun the mission to gather information about Earth from space. In the " Earth As Art " collection, photographs are represented by " false colors " because satellites use both tangible and invisible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Near-infrared light is invisible to the human eye, but adding it to photos will allow scientists to "see " the Earth's surface in slightly different colors.

Let's admire the artistic marvels of the Earth in this impressive collection:

Huge green phytoplankton twists in the dark water around Sweden's Gotland island in the Baltic Sea, creating a picture in the style of "Starry Night" by Van painting genius. Gogh.

Vivid colors and strange shapes and combinations in the picture can inspire imagination about a fairy tale. This impressive maze appears along the edge of the Gulf of Chaunskaya of Russia (a blue semicircle) in northeastern Siberia. The two main rivers, Chaun and Palyavaam, flow into the bay and the bay enters the Arctic Ocean. Lakes and marshes are present throughout the area. They were formed from the remaining subsidence after the glaciers retreated.

Rocky Mountain Trench Valley on 1/2/2004. What looks like a deep red paint is actually the interaction between light and clouds in the Rocky Mountain rock range (also known as Canadian Rockies). Winding through them is part of the Rocky Mountain Trench valley, which stretches from Montana, USA to the south of the Yukon territory. The light reflection nature of the clouds along with the low sun has led to this surprising effect.

Byrd Glacier is moving relatively quickly through the Transantarctic Mountain Mountains in Antarctica at a rate of 0.8 km per year. With over 180 km of length, the glacier flows from the North Pole plateau (left) down to the "wall" of the Ross Ice Shelf (right). Long, deep currents are cut by much shorter flows at many points, forming deep cracks in the ice called glaciers of glaciers. Visible red markings represent areas of exposed rock.
