From this Monday October 19, the space service NASA has launched a new website that he says he created for our entertainment. The website presents, on a daily basis, pictures of the Earth as seen from space, with the sunny side of the planet always in focus.
The agency says it created this website so that we can see the world every day and anyone who wants to can keep photos. Thus, the organization promises to upload at least ten new photos per day bases.
We read from her announcement NASA:
"NASA launched a new website on Monday so that people can see images of the full, sunny side of the Earth every day. Once a day, NASA will publish at least a dozen new color images of Earth obtained 12-36 hours earlier. "Every daily sequence of images will show the Earth as it rotates, thus revealing the entire planet."
The new NSAA website will allow people to navigate per continent through archived images. Then the uploaded images can also be sorted by date.
The pictures of our planet are taken from a camera which is mounted on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), which is a satellite for observation and meteorology.
The primary mission of the DSCOVR spacecraft is to closely monitor the solar winds that are on our way and to warn us of those who may upset the upper atmosphere and thus disturb GPS signals and communications. The photos we share on the website DSCOVR: EPIC it's just a bonus.
