Looking through National Geographic's website this week I came across the Earth as Art gallery in which pictures from the Earth-observing Landsat satellites, jointly managed by NASA and the USGS take pictures of the Earth that are so beautiful they can be described as art. The pictures range from congregations of greenish phytoplankton in Sweden's dark water, to an ancient and eroded meteor crater in the Algerian Sahara. These pictures were taken from 2002-to present. They show just another view of how beautiful our planet is, the wonderful things that go on in the environment and hopefully will raise awareness to better care for our Earth.
